Solved The Cure For Z Banding

Inches, although I hate using them my most accurate measuring tool is in inches.
I agree on the continuity part, but this whole process took a few hours, after I finished I heavily debated on re filming.
I'll fix that now, 405 steps came from a proportion calculation because I didn't know the pitch of the screw.
calculation: (new steps/mm) = (old steps/mm)*(desired travel distance)/(actual travel distance).
I'm actually surprised a proportion got me only 5 steps off.

 

Just wanted to comment, many years later, that the z-banding issue I was experiencing was due to my rods being bent.

I followed your advice, I replaced them. I just replaced them with these cheap ones off amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07W6DPZLG) and that was all it took to show improvement.

Same couplers (which are also bent). But still, banding is gone. I have new couplers on the way.

I may go with integrated steppers if this doesn't seem to be a good long term solution. But all the same very happy the banding is gone. I haven't printed much in the past few years so I just stopped trying to figure this out.

This is the first time I bothered to disconnect the rods from the print and see how they rolled. They were very wavy.
