I recently got a neptune 4 max and it wasn't able to print a clean benchy, no matter what i tried i keep getting some sort of z-wobble but only on the x axis (extruder moving left and right)
The red/green benchy was my first benchy for which i used the g-code provided with the printer. The yellow ones i sliced the benchy myself in the elegoo cura slicer with basic settings
My bed is leveled very good, z-offset is good (after a few tries) belts are correctly tensioned using a belt tension meter.

did you check if the z axis is set up correctly and you dont use z fade

I used 2 objects with the same hight to make sure i dont have a z-tilt
rapid fractal
thats not checking the mechanics though
clever basalt
I'll have to take a look at my settings when i'm home to see if z fade is enabled or not

H.m.
I mean its no flexcoupler
Also iz looks like thr motor is to close to the extrusion? Which would be horrible if thats the reason
clever basalt
What motor are we talking about?

After doing a PID calibration and input shaper for x/y axis i'm gonna try making another benchy
Btw, my rods are sort of stuck at the top, they can turn but not mover left/right
Just remembered that i printed a filament spool rack and those do look smooth

Z binding is only sometimes regular
In many cases it appears random
I guess the zaxis has to be that way on the neptune during the timing belt

Could it be caused by moving the printer into a different room?
I've been thinking, and looking at other prints from this printer, and then i remembered i actually printed a really nice benchy
When i printed it i had the printer in the living room, after printing a few things for 2 days and during that time i made a benchy, a buddha statue and a vase (all provided with the printer)
They all looked fine no z-wobble at all
Then i moved my printer into a small room, printed a benchy with new filament (the geetech green/red filament) which was just ugly, thought maybe it was the filament decided to print another benchy with different filament (3djake green filament) which i took from my sv06 (it was printing perfecly fine on that printer) and again a Wobble on that benchy
Should i try to print a benchy again, but move the printer back to the living room?
