Are there any associations/clubs in town dealing or working together on this 3d printing? I would be interested in joining/helping/getting help. Thanks - Steveby Stevevanderloo - Canada, London RUG

All printers have a means of guiding the Z axis up and down vertically. If you are getting layer shift perhaps there is a problem with the guide system you have, binding of the carriage, loose belts, or acceleration rates are too high (not to be confused with feed rate) ? The rods could be bent, bearings loose, or frame members loose or bent, rods not perpendicular to the bed. Your couplings maby Stevevanderloo - Printing
Thanks Roger123D for the reply. I have progressed a little further. The gcode spits out a high value for the Z axis when it rapids from park to start position. The line is noted below: "N25 G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift nozzle" The value is F5000 which I take it as 5000 mm/min. I know this now to be way to fast. I believe 200 to 300 mm/min would be typical? Any comments on this would be good.by Stevevanderloo - General
I have an Ecksbot printer that I am trying to get running. I am currently have problems with the Z axis chattering under any fast speed. At 300% over ride in manual mode the motors chatter. I assume it is stall of some sort. When running a program the X and Y seem to run smooth but no such luck with Z. There does not appear to be any binding and the carriage moves freely up and down the railby Stevevanderloo - General
