[Fixed] V-Minion Z or Y axis issue

Any thoughts on the cause of these lines on my v-minion? They are about every 4mm and on the front and back only running along the x axis. The sides are clear.

4mm makes me thing its an issue with the lead screw alignment. check to make sure its parallel to the frame.

that's what I thought, Had the lead screw out loosened everything off and went through aligning it again. wonder if it would be worth trying a brass nut instead of the delrin block or even an oldham coupling like on the vzbot

I wonder if this is the issue, doesn’t quite look central.

yeah, just swapped it for one of those 1 piece spring style couplers as that's the only other type I have to hand. Just started a print, see if it makes a difference. Changing coupler didn't work. Changed to another lead screw and delrin block. Fixed yay! So it was either the leadscrew or the delrin block. I now have perfect layers on all sides
