V-core 3.2H belt/resonance issues
Hey folks,
I'm looking for some help interpreting these resonance and belt tension graphs. I've upgrades to 3.2H and currently do not have the hybrid belts in place.
I've tried various belt tensions from ~50-60Hz and I get mostly the same graph shape from all of them; I've had the first two spikes mostly overlapping (a little better than in the example attached) but there's always a spike between 100-150Hz (I've been able to get the third spike to mostly 'line up' on some tests as well, if that makes any difference).
I understand this is likely from the toolhead; I've stripped it down and rebuilt it ensuring all the bolts are snug and all my cables are zip tied up. I made sure my gantry moves freely and there's no noticeable binding when the belts are off.
If I use the resonance analysis tool I can hear some vibration from the toolhead at ~130Hz that quietens if I hold it lightly at various points, but I can't seem to get to the bottom of it or pin point a source. Video of that attached.
If anyone has ideas of what I could/should try to diagnose this further I would greatly appreciate it π

Hi did you find solution ? I have similar problem
Hey, sort of. I tweaked the corexy belts to get the belt tension results as clean as possible - this is what I had right before I put the hybrid belts on



I then installed the hybrid belts and the graphs all improved, I guess it stabilises it somewhat π€· I'm calling this good enough though and just pressing on now.



FWIW I settled on ~55Hz on my 500 for both the corexy and hybrid belts
Oh I also pulled my belts and re-checked they were exactly equal - trimmed one tooth off one and when fitting them paid extra care in making sure they were fit equally as well; that is what appeared to slightly smooth out my second peak
I have similar problem without AWD belts are equals and somethin is wrong about 98 hz

yeah that looks familiar π to me it sounds like something is vibrating on my toolhead but I just couldn't figure out what/how to dampen it
I have just fix, the problem was with rear fan (toolhead 1.0) it has 0.1mm space beetwen fan and aluminium plate
Did it just need tightening?
I feel like this is similar to my graph as well, haven't spent a ton of time looking into it yet
Interested to see what you find. Mine appears to be printing well enough, perimeters are clean I just need to fiddle with an infill issue not sure if itβs extrusion related or line width or something messing it up
