VC4 500 hybrid y resonance speed low
I just ran the resonance tests again, and I'm seeing charts that look great for X, but y is showing half of what I'd expect for acceleration speeds. I'm wondering what I missed.

For a 500 that doesn't look bad I think, you can always increse the belt tension on the Y but do it ever so slightly.
Shouldn't the acceleration speeds be significantly higher on the Y axis for a hybrid 500?
On the 500 I'm not sure how far would it go.
Again, that depends on the actual tension you put on the Y as well, so they are linked. More tension (to a point) = faster acceleration.
@Prav is the IS guy 😄
i don't have hybrid, but based on 247's review of the 500, and Helge reaction to it being more or less "it's not fully tuned could be better" i'd say you could get better results. but they aren't terrible either.
the amplitude on your graphs is also on the low end, so most likely you could tighten the belts more. realistically if you get clean graphs, all you could change to get higher recommendations without mods, is tightening the belts is pretty much all you can do.
I was able to tighten up the belts and fix one issue last night that got the graphs closer to the one on the right
that's great! 🙂
as far as 500's go, i don't think anyone posted much better graphs yet.
tension is tricky, because almost all levels work and can produce clean graphs. For higher shaper recommendation you want them tighter, but if you go too tight print quality might degrade even if graphs are great.
if you ever feel interested about more methodical way of measuring tension i can link you few things 🙂 but you don't need it if you want to print cool stuff instead of trying to milk all the performance out of the printer.
@Prav I would be interested in methodical ways 🙂
