Describe your issue:
I updated my Qidi i-fast printer with a Manta M8P control board running klipper. I’m working on some initial test prints and notice some z-banding/layer inconsistency when printing a benchy. Are there other prints I could run to help troubleshoot what is causing the z-banding? Settings I can check? I’m not using pressure advance. I also updated the print head to a Stealthburner.

Bump - Hey I met a guy on printables.com that has a similar setup of an I-Fast. I am going to attempt to build one also, can you share any build information /specs with me and your Printer config , thanks . his name on printables is below, maybe hit him up , again This is awesome , wish the i- fast had become more popular, I applaud anyone who worked to make them better and to keep them relevant. any guidance you could share would be greatly appreciated
I’ve been very happy with my upgrade so far. Since I changed out the printhead for a stealthburner with an inductive z-probe I now have repeatable z-offset and can perform bed leveling. I was really struggling with the z-offset with the stock i-fast. I could get everything level, but then on the next print the first layer would either not touch the plate or get smeared into the plate.
Unfortunately, I’m still fighting the z-banding. It’s much better. I updated the z-axis lead screws and nuts. Now the build plate doesn’t drop when power is lost. The z-axis is overconstained with the connection to the build plate, so that will be my next re-design.
amazing looking foward to this! I have bought the mantra v2 board and CB1 hopefully it arrives within 2 weeks, also im going to go with stealthburner not sure which option though but this looks quite interesting…
