Shaper Graph Vcore3-500

#

So i've gone through the "reading shaper graphs" video and think i've got a basic understanding of how this works,
what do people suggest, anything to attempt to make better or are these values as expecteD?

It's interesting because on my 500 my first mode (leftmost peak on the belt tension graph) has the highest amplitude, and your highest is the second mode. Have no idea why. But I think from a belt tension being equal standpoint you want the amplitude (and frequency) to match as best as possible on the first mode more than any other mode. The reason is the first mode of natural frequency is the one closest to being in direct relationship to tension. So perhaps loosen the lower belt to get that matched up better. I wouldn't tighten them any more than what you have. The 500 can't get much better acceleration (in Y) than 6000 in a print if you want your bearings and belts to last a long time imo. But if you'd rather tighten the upper that's your call.

The other reason for using the lowest mode is because that occurs where the longest sections of the upper and lower belts are located. (on the sides along the Y axis, the distance between the front most and rear most pulleys). Because the longer the unsupported distance the lower the frequency for a given tension (think guitar strings). So you are comparing apples to apples in that case. In the later modes, the other length sections of belts are likely contributing along with possibly other parts of your printer and frame, so that can muddy the waters a little and the graph might not matchup as well, but that is not necessarily due to tension levels.

aha i see
the graph above there isn't what i currently have as i re-did some stuff, got one that is a bit all over the place so i'll re-tighten the belts again, get it as close together as i can and do some experimenting from there
