The heat break is only $40 but the other bits and shipping are the additional cost. I would move to the rapido but I need to print new EVA fixturing first. Can't do that until my hot end is working. A little bit of Catch 22.

Do you think CF or GF filament could erode the heat break?

Vertical ridges on circular prints and vibration.
The vibrations are still there regardless of the speed, there are just less pronounced at lower speeds.

Vertical ridges on circular prints and vibration.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to why the vertical ridges are present at 100 mm/s and not as pronounced at 50 and 25 mm/s?

I just put in the new bearings and spacers. I'm going to try a print shortly.

is it toothed idlers?
The first peak can be from a loose bolt or nut somewhere on the machine. The best place to start is with the hotend assembly on the XY carriage. I had a similar peak and it was a loose nut that was causing the first peak.

The issue was definitely mechanical not the slicer because I used the same sliced file before and after. The before had no vertical ridges and after showed up a little while later after the upgrade. I'm going to print a new cylinder to see if the issue is resolved.

I had similar vertical ridges on my prints after the upgrade as well and I was able to track it down to worn out bearings on the X and Y motor assemblies. I had to take them apart and manually spin the bearings to hear the grinding in the bearings.

I think the bearings were shot on the right CoreXY assembly. I ordered new ones once they arrive and are installed I'll provide an updated.

I already changed the stepper drivers to make sure that wasn't the issue as well. Ordered a couple of new motors. I'll try them swapping them in once they arrive.

It's not, I printed the same sliced model before the upgrade and the ridges weren't there. I'm thinking I may have tightened the belts to much and damaged the x and y steppers.
