If I do a PID autotune, and input the values, should that be accurate enough?
Yeah, most people use PID autotune
I will try that as well. What is UPS?
Uninterruptible power supply, it has many filters that removes all the noises of the power grid and will give your printer a very clean and stable 110v 60hz/220v 50hz , also some of them have internal batteries so you can continue printing for a while even during blackouts.

Still working on my problem. I have done large and small cylinders and cubes with not top or bottom, 1 wall, and 0% infill. I have the same look of prints at different layer heights too. The wall thickness measures out okay. I have tried extrusion rates both directions, temperatures in both directions. I tried a z axis backlash fix with a nut above x ends a spring in between, tightened all belts and grub screws, checked extruder tension, checked for z wobble, (VERY minimal), and I have autotuned my PID settings. Nothing is fixed. I can’t seem to fix it. Anyone have any other ideas? Direct drive aluminum extruder?
Does anyone have any personal experience with one type of an extruder printing better than another? Thoughts and comments appreciated.
