So this is a little weird to me. I have been doing a bunch of prints for my new effector, but I'm getting a weird pattern in my prints.
It's not a layer shift because it isn't horizontal. it's like a nice even set of double helix that is off set by about .1-.2mm, just enough to be seen. Does anyone know what could cause this? It's not causing problems with the function of my prints, but i would still like to try and eliminate it. Crapy pics from phone

Re: Strange spirals on Prints
Those are probably caused by backlash shifting in the arms. There are essentially three overlapping circles in delta space, and they make three helices/circles when a linear wall is translated into delta space. Some confusing stuff! If your part is the right shape, there should be more than one overlap point.

Makes sense. Didn't really have my Trig hat on, but in hindsight it's a simple concept. I guess I can try throwing some bands on the arms till i get the Magarms up and running. Thanks
