Only started 3d printing recently so I don’t really have any thing to compare against so I’m asking the community. How bad are these VFAs? Should I just leave as is or is this bad enough to try to troubleshoot?
I’m currently only doing functional prints so this is only a minor, cosmetic issue for now. However in the future that might change, so I wanted to check if this is mostly to be expected or if there is something very wrong.
3D printer is Core One running 6.4.0-RC firmware.
Filament is generic black PETG.


Time to spend hours and hours tuning the VFAs out of your thousand+ dollar printer.

No need to do any of the physical mods. Prusa released software updates that also help so you might just need to skip to the end and do the belt tensioning.
I was under the impression that the vfas were caused by the belt teeth. I’ve also had those issues still after their last firmware update in July. Is there something that I’m missing?
Belt tensioning. They are caused by the teeth but ideal belt tensioning can lessen it.
