Z-wobble in 3D printing and ways to eliminate it

Let's start with what wobble is.

This is a cyclic printing defect, which is expressed in the displacement of layers by fractions of a millimeter along the Z axis.

i.e. it is the inability of the screw, raising or lowering the Z-axis, to follow its path exactly. At certain moments, the axis mount sticks, preventing it from moving to the desired height, due to which the current layer is smeared into the previous one.

Most often, this defect is expressed as waves on the surface of the model.

For a better understanding, I sketched in paint why this happens.

So, in order to get rid of wobble on your printer, you need to determine whether the problems are really caused by it, and not by poor quality filament with an unstable bar diameter.

Print any model with flat vertical walls twice, one after the other from one file, put them side by side and compare the models with each other. Identifying the problem can be difficult if there are defects on the models caused by both wobble and bad filament.

If the wobbler could not be unambiguously distinguished among other printing defects, then you should first try replacing the plastic spool with another one, preferably from another manufacturer.

Let's move on to the mechanics. If you are absolutely sure that the problem is in the Z axis, then you should pay attention to 5 points:

1) in the coupling connecting the motor shaft and the screw that transmits rotation to the support nut, there must be a space between the shaft and the screw, as shown in the screenshot. Also, if you have a one-piece clutch, then you should replace it with a spring or split one. Since it is not designed to compensate for misalignment with a shaft

2) The support nut attachment must not be rigidly fixed. From the options for solving the problem, one can single out a simple and reliable one:

Easy option: unscrew the screws holding the support nut, lubricate them with threadlocker and screw them back, but not completely, so that the support nut can only move freely in the XY plane

A reliable option: find on the Internet or simulate a decoupling that allows the support nut to move within certain limits, but does not fix it to the axis with screws. An example of such a decoupling is installed on Artillery printers.

3) fixing the screw at the top point in the presence of only one motor is impractical, it causes only an additional restriction of the free rotation of the screw, which can affect the uniformity of the axis movement. If 2 motors are installed and a timing belt between them, you can choose one of 2 ways: either remove the top mounts and the timing belt is completely, or try to set the entire system as coaxially as possible.

4) Check the screw, it may be deformed, in this case it is necessary to replace it with a new one.

5) Check the axles and carriages. For openbuilds, adjust the eccentrics and check the wheels for proper operation.

If the guide axles are shafts with plain bearings or rails, and there is play in them, then there is nothing to help you :D, most likely you will either have to put up with it or buy new high-quality guides.

Also, stripes on models can be caused by unstable temperature in the hotend. To fix this problem, you need to calibrate the PID controller of the heater. To do this, you need to have EEPROM activated in your firmware.

If so, then download and install the Repeater host, connect through it to the printer, go to the "management" tab, enter the command M303 C8 E0 S235

where:

M303 - team code in marlin,

C8 - number of attempts to find the correct coefficients

E0 - extruder heater code

S235 - target temperature

After the end of the auto-calibration process, 3 lines with coefficients will appear in the bottom of the terminal.

at the top of the program, click on "configuration" → "EEPROM config"

In the window that appears, look for the 3 necessary lines "PID" and write the values ​​​​from the terminal into them. Then we save everything and turn off.

It should be noted that the dependence of the temperature on the thermistor on the output value going to the board is not linear, but obeys an exponential law. Because of this, the temperature measurement accuracy of the sensor at 200° and 260° will differ quite a lot. If you have a regular Chinese NTC 3950 sensor, it is likely that the dependency table in the firmware will differ from reality, which will not allow you to set an adequate temperature above 210 °, and, accordingly, calibrate it.
