#Belts graph is saying there is a possible mechanical issue and my X graph has quite a few humps.

I have a 2.4, xol tool head, cnc chaotic labs tap, Adxl on my ebb36, I used the app to measure my belt tension. I had some issues with what looked like Z banding when tuning my boxed turtle. I ran shake tune to see if there was anything out of the ordinary and it seems I have a problem with my belts and my X graph. I took a closer look at my beefy idlers and they seemed to be holding the bearing on a slight angle. I attempted to fix the angle but it didn't seem to get much better. I then decided to switch back to my chaotic labs cnc front idlers. I had an issue where my tool head came down on a print and broke my original cnc tap.

I did check to make sure gauntry wasnt racked after breaking my old tap. if I remember correctly it was off a little but nothing crazy.

You and reth helped me out about a month ago when I first switched over to the xol tool head.

I guess my main goal was to have you guy looks at the graphs and my belt tension graph to see if you thought any of those main humps were concerning. I was concerned with the belt graph and the X graph. They just seemed very abnormal to me, however I cant say I fully understand what I am looking at. Also, after looking at what my X graph was originally when you guys helped me out to what it is now seems like quite a large jump like there may be some concern.

I will post my old results once I find the post

specifically your tap magnets

#

but this is a CL tap so there is no way to fix it

If you want CNC tap - would recomend vitalli's

#

in my opinion CL tap is no bueno

#

its one of the bad ones along the CNC ones

there wasn’t a good example on the cube, but here would be one. This very well may be a question for slicers and print help

to test z banding print a hollow tube about 50mm tall and 20-30 in diameter

I got a new cl cnc tap with a loose rail. It gave me graphs that looked like yours. I took it apart and tightened the screws that hold the rail and adjusted the magnets and that fixed the problem for me. Check if you can wiggle the toolhead sideways and look if the rail moves.

When its mounted. loosen the screws on the sides that hold the magnets. Lift the toolhead up and down a couple of times so the magnets settles. Tighten the screws again. Its described in the manual on chaoticlabs github
