[Solved] Circle perimeter larger and not connected.
December 31, 2011 09:40PM
First off I want to say hi and thank you to all those in the reprap community. You have all been of great help. But I am still new to this.
Now about my problem. I get good prints but There is still a big problem that I can not figure out. The perimeter lines of some of my prints are far from each other. This is really noticeable on circles. I have attached a picture (which will need to be opened in a new tab/window because I can't figuare out how to make the whole image be shown) that shows the problem. My steps for the motors are spot on for both x and y, both axiss are smooth to move with no binding, I don't think it's backlash, and I don't have missed steps that I can tell. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

looks like backlash in Y .... the part is not really round or?
try it with a backlash function ... or work on your hardware-parts

Thank you. I found that it was a combination of misaligned belts and a bad pulley. Thankfully I have a spare pulley.
