Hi there,

Just got my new Duplicator i3 Plus but from the get-go im having some problems. I know how to use printers and use the right settings, but for some reason i just cant seem to get my printing smooth. I thought it was because of the vibration so i changed the bearings with the Drylin kind. But still no smooth printing even though ive seen a lot of Wanhao first prints without any problem.

Can somebody help me because im running out of ideas how to solve this?

How fast are you printing? Try printing slower. You might also check out the Z Brace mod’s to stiffen the gantry z Brace for Wanhao Duplicator i3 PLUS by spool3d_canada - Thingiverse. Really improved the print quality for my i3 (not plus). Also, check the extruder gear, is it the bronze gear with large teeth or the (silver) steel gear with fine, sharp teeth? The steel gear produces much smoother prints.
