inconsistent layer stacking

v-minion, dual z, oldham decoupler, orbiter 2, rapido 2. i thought it might be PID related, but that doesnt seem to be the case. I feel it might have to do with some Z play in the oldham decoupler icw z hops. the upper part is printed in vasemode and is mostly perfect. any ideas?

Initially i thought that that could not be it, since vasemode was perfect. but thinking about it, that still could be the case since in vasemode the inperfection would be spread very evenly opening up the orbiter is was visually mis aligned, so thank you! i will upgrade to orbiter 2.5 as soon as it comes out, but im testing this tn also; this can be done without disassembling the while thing lol, i wonder why the OG does that

"Good" news! I hope it helps. It made a huge difference for me, just a small but visible misalignment. I'm also looking forward to orbiter 2.5. It's also possible that the small retraction on non-vase mode layer change nudges the filament into a different state of misalignment (if the pathway was not perfectly aligned to start with). Kind of like gear path misalignment "backlash".

i think it might have to do with the cantiliver noticably wobbling i just loosend the belts and started a print, i can barely feel any vibrations on the cantilever now, but rn its opnly leveling if it is visble its not small haha
