I am getting a snake skin / vibration like pattern across all prints on one of my P1Ps across many different gcodes. The same prints work on many different printers in my farm with no issues. I only print with PLA and use generic filament settings.
I have cleaned carbon rods and “lubed” with alcohol many times (not a stranger to this with multiple printers), cleaned and lubed screws and steel rods. Checked all pulleys and gears for anything abnormal. I actually ended up replacing the carbon rod assembly and nothing changed with the prints. Something seems loose but I can’t seem to pin point it. Replaced a couple complete nozzle assemblies. Replaced extruder gear.
If anyone has ideas I’d greatly appreciate it!!
that looks crazy. can you wiggle around the print head?
have you tried to run a complete printer calibration in the settings?
dont know if this is it either, but i was reading maybe double check the jerk/acceleration settings and Pressure advance.
Good luck!
Have you printed a different model? That model appears to have a textured surface modeled in (or at least looks like it).
Maybe make a basic calibration cube or a benchy.
The print head doesn’t seem to have excessive wiggle. To replace the carbon rods I had to completely swap the print head. I have also been through a couple complete nozzle assemblies and re tightened them. I have done a calibration before and after the carbon rod replacement.
This same pattern shows up across many different models. All models that print without the pattern on other printers print with the pattern on this printer with the exact same gcode file. It shows up on a benchy prints.
