Pulled the gif on wayback machine and found a match on another gif site. --- articles/troubleshooting/small_infill_areas_overextruded.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/articles/troubleshooting/small_infill_areas_overextruded.md b/articles/troubleshooting/small_infill_areas_overextruded.md index 2405d7e..d94b572 100644 --- a/articles/troubleshooting/small_infill_areas_overextruded.md +++ b/articles/troubleshooting/small_infill_areas_overextruded.md @@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ But, there are some things that *may* help a bit: - **There seem to be diminishing returns here**, at least in my testing. There's no need to tune this down as low as physically possible. - Try reducing top infill speeds and accelerations. - Again, there are diminishing returns here. On my printer, I stop seeing noticeable improvements below around 2k acceleration. Your mileage may vary. -- Ensure that your extruder gears don't have too much [:page_facing_up: backlash](https://gfycat.com/mealycautiouscoqui). +- Ensure that your extruder gears don't have too much [:page_facing_up: backlash](https://i.gifer.com/N4k2.gif). - You **want** a tiny amount of backlash (but as little as possible - this is just to make sure that you haven't over tensioned the gears. Too much tension can cause [:page_facing_up: extrusion patterns](../troubleshooting/extrusion_patterns.md) and accelerated wear.) - Too much backlash can cause issues with pressure advance and retractions. - You may need to re-tune PA (and sometimes esteps) after adjusting this.
