M906 X800 Y800 Z800 E800 I30 ; set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent
there are default values from the configurator.
a quick google shows the motors seem to be 1,68 A motors
so you are running way to little current. try 1300
-
The motors are Quimat Nema 17 Stepper Motor 1.7 A 0.59 Nm 84 oz.in 47mm
-
@Leblond said in Triangular wave and print area:
1.7 A
so running them at 75% rounding to nearest 100 is 1300.
-
ok I took them to 1.3 and I'm doing the test again later

I'm retrying cold-meshing the plate to see if we've made any improvements
-
-
no improvement
-
it seems to be very consistent.
can you turn the glass 90 degrees?
-
Is the X carriage on wheels?
I'm not familiar with the printer and can't tell from the photos I've seen,
Almost looks like an eccentric wheel causing the nozzle to rise & fall with each rotation -
-
Yes, the trolley is on rails and has eccentrics
-
I've had the same problem once , it was the x axis wheels and stopped the ripple with linear rails , but I guess getting better would have fixed it too.
-
@Veti yes I have already tried to rotate it 90 degrees, but no improvement
-
@peter247 in practice they had?
-
@Leblond said in Triangular wave and print area:

I don't think he's talking about eccentric nuts to adjust wheel tension, I think he means the wheel itself may be out of round.
Is the spacing between the peaks equivalent to a full rotation of the wheel?
-
@Phaedrux ok, but I tried to move it manually without the belt to see if it was free and so it was, do you think the bearings need to be changed?
-
Well the real question is does mesh compensation work to produce a good first layer?
Do a test print once with mesh enabled and another with it disabled. You should be able to tell if the mesh is accurate or not.
-
@Phaedrux ok I will try in the meantime I disassembled the x axis turned the bearings
"just to give it a try while I was waiting for some advice from you" and now I've reassembled it and put it back to making a cold mesh to see if anything has changed, then I'll try to print to see if the mesh works or not, tomorrow I will post the results with and without mesh, for the moment thanks @Phaedrux.
