x axis streaks on valuejet 1204

[gieseguy]

wondering if anyone has any ideas of what may be causing the x axis streaks. just starting doing this it seems to be light dark thing. These are much bigger than the usual y axis streaks from nozzel getting plugged.

try cleaning the bearing raceways. all 4. Then you need a very light coat of the Mutoh grease. Sometimes the bearing itself is dirty. Use a soft cloth but no liquid. You do not want anything to penetrate the bearing.

Why don't you want to have oil penetrate the bearings? What symptoms will this cause?

got the mutoh grease

ok got the mutoh grease cleaned the bearing raceways and applied thin layer of grease but it is not printing any different. here is a recent picture of solid red with the light and dark streaks. anyone have any other ideas?

Try to use the Wow patterns, these were supposedly created to fix vertical banding issues. Also try playing around with the temperature settings of the profile you are using, set them lower then higher and see what effect this will have when you print the same file.
