I’ve been printing these on my A1 Mini without any issues. I need about 20 more, so I printed 2 of them on the ACE. Two different filaments (PETG) with 2 different profiles & they both came out the same.
They will still work for my project, but I would still like to remove the banding.
Also, you can feel the banding with your fingers. Both are PETG.
I still can’t seem to fix this issue.
I was slicing files today & decided to go through the slide settings, when I got to Speed I saw banding. Now, I’m confused as this would no longer be a mechanical issue.
are the bands corresponding to internal supports or something like that?
Can you please share some other specs? how many walls? wall order inner/outer/inner walls? or outer/inner?)? is it the same banding artifact on the X or Y print axis? is there a distance measured between the banding re-ocurrs, or is it totally random?
No supports on either model.
Banding is on the Z.
I removed the Rods & they are not bent.
I removed the Z Rod Bearings & re-printed the file, it came out the same.
The banding is 4mm in width.
The print is better towards the bottom 10mm or so, then the banding shows up for the rest of the print.
I see the same speed banding in the slicer, but varies with the infill used… gonna try to print a simple rectangular object with lighting infill, to see if the banding is inherent to the mechanic output.
I was also looking over the printer step file, and seems like it would fit Oldham couplings, like the style used on the Ender 3.
so, close to the bed, looks ok, but fat from the hotbed heat, issues start… mmh… sounds familiar, but I can remember where I heard about a similar issue…
Infill in the red model is Gyroid, the sliced model was Cross Hatch I think.
Number of walls don’t matter, if I can’t see it I can feel it.
The gap in the Z-Rods is 2mm.
I wasn’t thinking it was the extruder, but know I’m kinda leaning that way.
The only other option is it’s something in the ACE Orca Profile.
I sliced & printed plenty of models and depending on the geometry sometimes it’s hard to find.
It’s mostly noiceable on straight objects.
Probably, but it’s a vertical triangular tower.
Almost the same as vertical square tower shown by the other user.
A toy piece that my grandson lost.
The walls are particularly smooth. Very happy with the result.
