Frequently Asked Questions

the second controls the speed of rapid movements where no plastic
is being extruded. You may need to adjust both settings to see an
effect.
(2) Firmware acceleration
The firmware that runs on your 3D printer’s electronics
typically implements acceleration controls to help prevent sudden
direction changes. The acceleration settings will cause the printer
to slowly ramp up in speed and then to slowly decelerate before
changing directions. This functionality is vital for preventing
ringing. If you are comfortable working with your printer’s
firmware, you may even want to try decreasing the acceleration
settings so that the speed changes more gradually. This can help
reduce ringing even further.
(3) Mechanical issues
If nothing else has been able to resolving the ringing issues,
then you may want to look for mechanical issues that could be
causing the excessive vibrations. For example, there could be a
loose screw or a broken bracket that is allowing excessive
vibrations to occur. Watch your printer closely while it is running
and try to identify where the vibrations are coming from. We’ve
had many users that eventually traced these issues back to
mechanical problems with the printer, so it’s worth checking if
none of the suggestions above were able to help.
