Z-Axis wanders when moving
Hi all,
after printing alot on and of with my VCore3 500 I've run into my first major issue.
When doing the bed tilt my machine often times out. The second Stepper (front left when viewed from behind) is always at aroung 1.12-5 when the 3D Touch probe triggers but the other two are closer to 1.19-23. After checking the mounting for the anti backlash nut block I ran the probe accuracy test on all 3 probing points and saw that my Bed drifts down ever so slightly. Next I noticed that my front left corner (when viewed from behind) is always a little too far from the buildplate and the lines dont stick well. Even when using an adaptive Mesh with 10x10 Point for a print thats about 10by10cm. After that I moddled a quick holder for a dial gauge and ran a test with it moving Z to 10mm, then 1mm and back to 10. Over the course of 10 cycles my Z Axis drifted by 0.05mm. This sound bad when doing alot of z-hops.
My questions now are:
1. Is this normal Behaviour?
2. Am I chasing too much acuracy?
3. If it is a problem, where do I start troubleshooting from here?
Thank you all for reading this wall of text
