I have been looking into this issue for about a month now…
Some background:
I was running Cura 14, made an upgrade to a metal bed support from plexi on my Hictop I3
Also added a metal tensioner to the mk8 extruder.
Prints working fine after putting it all back together.
Then I upgraded to Cura to the 15.0.4 and now I get this weirdness.
It looks like banding but the consistency is based on how my material is laid down and not by any movement that I can tell.
Things I’ve tried:
Releveled the whole thing
Greased the screws and nut for the up/down motion (z axis?) which are integrated into the stepper motor
Monitored heat (Stays within 3C of desired temp)
Updated again to the latest Cura (would have rolled back but couldn’t find an old version)
Any other ideas/solutions?
This one shows the motor mount and some dremel cut away due to the new bed.
I had a 80mm build platform due to the metal bed frame that wouldn’t clear the rear motor mount.
This was first print I had an issue with after the upgrades.
Worked fine until i changed Cura version.
