Well, to me, all is important on a machine. From overall architecture to the hotend, through any components and controler. The best you can do at each step will talks. One component can lead to bad results.

Print slow! Aceleration also helps.

Pineapple,

spur and worm gears (depending on design), and in reality those six sigma number you posted don't get achieve in real world.

691175002,

Funny that you mentioned those numbers, My test printer uses 2 reduction sets one 160-40 and 160-20, but most admit that creating those timing belt pulleys wasn't easy.
I just finished printing the upper body of the printer, and now I'm working on center post.

Acceleration?

It is in the eeprom settings. It makes it so the printer doesnt go from one direction to another in an instant. Imagine driving a car at a constant 60mph, then taking a turn. Now try slowing down befofe the turn, and speeding up afterwards. I put my aceleration speeds lower, and the quality improved drastically.

Ok that makes more sense. I originally read that as the opposite: faster acceleration helps your print quality. I knew that couldn't be true.
