  Or you can go for "belted Z" that is available on github by kevinakasam. https://github.com/kevinakasam/BeltDrivenEnder3

• What could be causing these weird layer lines?
  1 project | /r/FixMyPrint | 7 Jul 2023

  This is called Z banding which happens on ender 3 style printers with a single Z rod, you can buy a dual Z axis kit but I would recommend Belted Ender 3 mod instead as it will almost remove it completely and is around the same price, more DIY though.

• How can I get rid of these line so the finish is smoother

  After that, convert your printer to belt driven. The kit's only $25 and easily the best upgrade you could do on that unit. That link has some example prints, all the .stls, and links where you can get the kit

• Layer lines how can i solve?

• X-Axis Leveling

  There are also more radical approaches. KevinAkaSam has a mod that foregoes leadscrews altogether, using a system of belts to drive the Z-axis instead. This is still a Cartesian printer, but since there are no leadscrews, there is no leadscrew wobble. It still uses only one motor (like the belted-leadscrew approach above, though it moves that motor to the top of the printer, so you might need a longer cable for it.

• Is a dual Z-Axis with two parallel steppers really worth it?

  Tbh, I think it's more trouble than it's worth. There are several ways to get dual z without dual steppers, and it's less effort that way. My preferred dual z solution is a belted z axis like kevinakasam's mod. https://github.com/kevinakasam/BeltDrivenEnder3

• Motor not spinning after reducing rotation distance on Z axis
  1 project | /r/klippers | 7 Mar 2023

  If you are doing this Ender3 mod, then the settings stay the same.

• Anything I can do with leftover motor after upgrade to direct drive assembly?

  On my V2, once I finished all the pieces for the belted Z mod, I used the old extruder motor to replace the Z axis motor since is is a bit stronger.

• What is causing these lines in my prints

  You can feel this if you carefully manually turn the lead screw. You will feel more resistance at some points. There are some simple fixes that you can find on reddit for adjusting the bracket. You can also replace that bracket by going to a belt drive. https://github.com/kevinakasam/BeltDrivenEnder3

• is a semi switchwire worth it? (the coreXY Z-X axis setup)
