Vcore 400 graphs
Hi everyone.
I have just upgraded the belts and bearings oon my V-Core 400 and have spent the last few evenings playing with the belt tensions. It seems at the moment that I am not getting consistent results. I was chasing my tail a bit and adjusting per the individual result and re-testing, but have just found that if I ran the same test over a few times, the results were quite different which seemed strange. Has anyone had similar at all in the past?
I have attached two pics from the X/Y belt tension results with no adjustments to the belts between the tests, and have also attached the shaper graphs.
Just hoping someone may be able to share some advice for me with them - maybe on the inconsistency with the tests one after the other - but also on the graph results as far as being too tight maybe as the printer is much tighter than before, but I do believe I ran them way too loose before upgrading the belts, which caused an amount of slippage at times.
Thanks in advance

It's all good everyone. I've had to go back to square one on it and start again on the belts. Havng a bit of a closer look, the X axis gantry was not running parallel for me as well, and worked on rectifying that. It was caused by too much tension on one of the belts, so loosened that and found that I cut it a bit short, so have ordered a new one to replace it - rookie error that I should not have made. Will get the new belt Wednesday and put it all together properly and see how it goes then....
