· 3d Prints appearing with zebra stripes & twists
I seem to be having trouble replying to this thread either that or the posts are invisible to me only. Can anyone else see this post or the two previous posts to this thank you
Second that i can now see this post so I'll add my previous questions to this post.
As I've been trying to say I've printed both these designs before without any zebra stripes or twists it's only since yesteday that I've noticed anything wrong. ..is this issue degenerative as in it gets worse over time ? & what exactly do the boards do I did try to read why on the thread but i don't completely understand. ?
& would adding these boards invalidate my warranty as it's still covered. & finally are these the ones listed on eBay. Thank you

Exactly...this is a hardware issue with the controller board in the UMO+ and Ultimaker 2-3 printers. Easy fix...buy the TL-smooth and install it.
