New Printer-Z banding?
This voron cube is the first print off of the bed of Vcore 3.1 build sliced in prusa slicer printed at 195℃ excellent adhesion but how do I get rid of this zbanding or is it something else .I will be doing resonance calibration pretty soon and tightening the belt and I know that I need to increase the cooling as well

Looks like the top flow needs to be increased a little more
Check if there are dust particles on the screw rod
Thank you i will check for the things you mentioned
Drop your extrusion multiplier to 0.95
and tune input shaper
Print one with the absolute minimum layer height, then do one with the max layer height possible. Could provide some useful info

Have the same issue. 😦 do you use bondtech extruder too?

What steps have you tried?
My issue stemmed from the fact that one of the pulley was loose
I've got terrible z banding! Just built the idex vcore 4. I made sure everything is tight but my test print is coming out like this:
I had zero problems when it was just a hybrid. The first 5 layers lay down nicely, but then it just off the build by 2-3mm.


This doesn't really look like a banding issue to me, I can see some, but the corners look like more of a problem. One good thing to check for z banding to to cross reference it with the flow and speed from the slicer. Then you may want to set a slow maximum printing speed, to see how much of the issue may be mechanical vs flow & speed related.
