Cura 4.10 Z Banding?

Posted · Cura 4.10 Z Banding?

I'm having an unusual issue with two machines I have made basic profiles for in Cura.  One is a Fokoos Odin-5 F3 and a JGMaker Magic.

 

I've done esteps, extrusion multipliers (flow) and numerous other test prints

 

Here's one print, showing the banding.  Blue is from the Odin-5 and the gold is the JGMaker Magic

 

However when I use the Ultimaker 2+ profile, those prints are just fine.

 

So I am just wondering what it could be!  I do not have Z hop enabled, which I know can cause this.

 

I've checked the hardware/z screw and everything checks out.

    Hard to guess... - i think the forum software has reduced the size of your pictures too much.

     

    It doesn't look like z-banding to me - more like fluctuations of the flow rate or such?

    Maybe higher variance between the various printing speeds?

    Or it has something to do with "acceleration control" (it's enabled by default for Ultimaker printers).

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
