I purchased an Ender 3 V2 and began the assembly. I was following a Just Vlad video: Creality Ender 3 V2 - 3D Printer - Unbox & Setup - YouTube that seemed pretty comprehensive and added some initial quality checks on the base that I had not seen elsewhere. When I tested the bed movement, it hit two spots, almost like an indent catch. It was enough of a catch that i thought it reached its limit, but I knew i was well short of the total movement. I began fiddling with eccentric bearings under the bed as well as the belt. The belt did not seem quite straight, so I managed to sort that out. However, after fiddling for a while I have it improved significantly, but I still feel a slight bumpiness particularly at the most forward third of the movement. If I pull the bed to the front, then lift the front, the bed slowly glides to the back, so I think i have the right tension on the rollers. There is not wiggle to the bed either.
I was wondering if others experienced this and if there are some tricks to apply to get the last few minor bumps out of the travel. It is easiest to do this now before i put the z axis on the base.
As you can see the belt is loose on the table and not straight. Every time when this section reached a pulley the axis stuttered and the caveat is that you cannot see such a fault when the belt is mounted.
Just a guess, but default printer belts are shit in most cases and replacing them using some fiber enhanced belts a not brainer anyway.
This makes some sense to me. I noticed a more significant improvement by getting better alignment of the belt. What would be a recommended replacement for better quality. It also seems like a spare part to have on hand.
When I pushed the print platter back and forward, there were two points when the pressure felt different, as if a wheel was dropping into a dip, or low point - a bump ‘down’. (How do you describe a dip in horizontal movement?).
When first diagnosed, that happened when front and rear axels passed (more or less) the same point.
Following yesterday’s adjustments, the bump has reduced, and axels travel further before the second bump (about 10 or 12 mm).
No photos, because I can’t see what I’m feeling through my fingertips.
It seemed to me that the ‘bump’ was due to a wheel had a flat spot.?.? I adjusted and adjusted. Got rid of most of the ‘bump’ but never completely. Frustrating. 3 s1 Pro
