Rippling from Vibration

[Dale]

Has anyone had rippling in their prints from vibration and resonance? As I understand it is because the machine is too stiff.
I use to bow hunt and I had dampeners on the bow it did help. has anyone tried to add dampeners to a printer?

What type of printer, what resolution, speed, stepper type, filament type, an example pic. Your being far to vague, we have no information on your printer or print to give you any kind of diagnosis.

I understand the question all too well, from other applications.

My answer is that I have NOT experienced it with my one and only Rostock Max V2.

I agree is is POSSIBLE, at least in theory.
One would have to know a LOT about the relative masses of moving parts, their acceleration and perhaps more importantly the degree to which those accelerations are repeated.

From what I have seen so far what I print doesn't SEEM to have much repetitive motion, though I suppose I could design a part to promote resonance if I wanted to establish this as a potential problem (-:

e.g. infill across a long narrow Vee MIGHT turnaround at some unfortunate frequency somewhere along that Vee.

Hmmm... still not CONVINCED that it would be likely to lead to "rippling".
If I had rippled prints I would be looking for problems other than resonance.

Willing to try your .stl file here to see if the symptom is producible on more than one printer.
Let me know if you want me to try it.

{I also have various Bows, a whole 'nother subject}

Dale here has admitted he does not have a functional rostock currently, this is why I asked for specifics.

I suspect, but it's only a guess that he may be referring to the effect I saw of the arduino being the limiting factor in prints. Although this is really much more of an issue in a delta configuration.

Or my second guess is.......well that I better not say again due to it being speculation and having nothing to do with printers at all.
