Not having any luck fixing the belt tension.
I've redone the belts and as far as I can tell the gantry is true. What else should I look for?

This is the defect I'm trying to fix. Ringing in Y, lighter in X.
This may be just a resounance issue. I did a VFA tower and 120mm/s seems to be one of the worst speeds. Much less at other velocities. So I'm going to move forward and post here if I find anything more.
I’m pretty new to dialing in my filaments but with my bambu I noticed I needed to go incredibly slow to get rid of ringing with ABS. Do you think filament type matters?
Did you switch to prusa slicer by chance too? Thinking of copying all the profiles/parameters over to orca since someone messed up the orca ones so much.
This is PCTG. I'm thinking I need to be running a bit hotter than I am. Right now I just need to get the flow and retraction dialed in. I'll be working on ABS next as that is the material I want to move to for production parts.
Just glad that the garolite bed is working with the Beacon sensor. That should make ABS and PC easier to print. (Though I'm thinking of trying the first layer PLA to grip the bed. Not sure how the 60c bed temp might effect the chamber temps for those filaments.)

How many layers do you have cooling off for? I noticed your first 10 or so layers seem to look good but shrunk compared to the rest of the print. Maybe your temp is fine but you are cooling too much? Never heard of garolite before looks like a nice alternative to glass for that perfectly smooth bottom.
Also, to backtrack to your graph. It seems a lot of people including me have that little bump on the right. Has me wondering what the heck it is.
The bump around the 120hz has to do with anything slightly loose on the toolhead as I understand it. I have the PTFE connected with just a ziptie about halfway up the cable loop. So it is likely that. I don't want to restrict the bowden tube much as I've had curled filament break in the tube on my other printer.
I might have had just a little lift on the corner. Probably needed to clean from the previous print. The Garolite or PCB board is a good surface for materials that like to curl. It has good grip with a little PVA stick. Might try my flexible filament goo and see how that works also.
Yeah I thought it might have been the ptfe tube. Can’t really secure it down super well without constricting it.
