Ghosting (ringing)

3 Causes3 Solutions

Symptoms

Repeated ripples appear after sharp edges due to mechanical vibration at higher acceleration.

Quick fix

Lower acceleration values and verify belt tension plus frame rigidity.

Causes

  • Profile mismatch between material and print settings.
  • Mechanical setup drift (belt tension, leveling, or nozzle condition).
  • Unstable temperature or moisture-sensitive filament handling.

Solutions

  • Re-run a short calibration print and adjust one parameter at a time.
  • Inspect hardware path: nozzle, extruder grip, bed condition, and belts.
  • Use material-specific presets and confirm temperatures with a test model.
