  1. OKAY so I got it all put back together and this is the result. HUGE improvement I notice a TIINY amount of the layer inconsistencies but its hardly noticeable now. Thank you SO MUCH you have no idea how long i've been trying to fix this thing, the ultimaker support staff had me trying so many things that didn't work and yet you were able to figure it out. absolute legend (im guessing to fully fix it i'd have to make the tape slightly thicker but im fine with how it is now lol)
  2. Hi, i've wrapped tape around it and it seems to not wobble as much, however the back left screwhole (no matter which of the 4 screws i use) is so tight and impossible to tighten all the way (thats how i stripped one of the screws to begin with) is that normal for the printer?
  3. okay awesome, I just need to get the long screws out, one of them is stripped to heck so i'll have to dremel a groove into it to get it out LOL
  4. The bearing is the short metal tube thingy? and the tape goes around it? (sorry just making sure i understand haha)
  5. Thanks! it does have a bit too much wiggle only in the y axis, so for the tape solution i would put the tape around the inside of the bearing slot on the head? or around the whole rod?
  6. Hi, okay so my problem is that the print layers are inconsistent, It appears to be smoother and almost perfect on the X axis, but the Y axis has the issue. I went through checking for play on the axles, tightening them and all that. It was working fine before I got it (the old owner included some test prints) so I'm guessing something got bonked on the trip to my place. If that helps
  7. Hi, My Ultimaker 3 has been producing inconsistent prints and my local print shop recommended I calibrate the E steps. The problem is that every single guide on E step calibrations is for other printers. with settings the Ultimaker 3 doesn't have. So how do I go about calibrating the E steps on my Ultimaker 3?
  8. Even when printing at higher qualities my prints on my Ultimaker 3 have been inconsistent, I just recently got my printer so I'm still learning the ins and outs of it, does anyone have insight on what I could do to fix this issue? Thanks
