I thought this thing was different from regular Z wobble. Check the attached image (:Quote

Congratulations! You have rediscovered "Z wobble". Please see the article here: [reprapmagazine.com] on page 29.

I tested with another slicer but the result is the same.
I think my z rods are indeed rotating with more and less resistance every time they make a turn. I tightened the belt, hoping to reduce that effect, but now some part broke and I can't print another, CRAP!
You can see the broken plastic part, the ring around the bearing which prevents the belt from slipping off :/
So basically, the belt goes around the 4 corners, making the 4 rods rotate. The 4 rods are held in place by two axial bearings at the top, which *should* make sure they can't move up or down.
Do you think the whole idea; how I created the Z axis, is wrong? Or should I be able to fix this problem?

Kind of freely, but not entirely. I used to use M5 nuts to get some tiny pressure on the axial bearings.Quote

is the m5 captive at the top they freely to move. if not id try use a lead screws instead
Oh that is so kind of you to suggest that! (:Quote

What part broke - surely one of us could print and send out a spare if its beyond your ability to make another. Or glue it back together - glue works wonders.
