First parts analysis....

There's a useful and informative article by whosawhatsis here [www.evernote.com] that covers causes and prevention of Z axis ridges (of various kinds), I think it's a reprint from issue 1 of reprap magazine (https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/reprapmagazine/RepRapMagazine_Issue_1_lowres.pdf)

That was quite interesting, thanks.

I have now got the right profiles in and last night I printed the herringbone filament gears which came out exceptionally well, the 0.24mm layer was the issue i think.

Possibly an issue with the filament reel jerking the X-axis arm slightly as it unreeled, will check that out too.
