this is the second print to do this to me. It prints fine for about 4 hours and then there is a shift on the Y axis. Belts are all tensioned (i think. Frequency app isnt giving the 140hz that the instructions say, but I got them to match at around 28-30 according to the app, and then printed out a belt tension gauge to make sure they matched). Could the issue be from something else? Or do you think its a belt issue? THX
#unknown layer shift

30hz is not nearly enough tension wise.
Crank the tension up quite a bit. The way I do it is I pluck the belt (gantry homed 150mm from the front) until I hear a light twang.
You’ll be able to hear them match pitch wise. Fine tune it with the app then.
It might just be that you need to increase ur motor current
How does increasing the motor current prevent that type of layershifting ? I have the same problem.
Motors have higher torque with more current, so they can push through more mechanical resistance or accelerate faster
Don’t go over 0.7 of the max current of your motor. Most motors are rated at 2A so 1.4A is ideal. The stock config is at 0.8A
Yes makes sense. It happened at high chamber temperatures. And at higher temperatures the electric resistance of the motors is also higher. So less energy is transferred into torque. I will test that. Thanks 🙏🏻
