I just upgraded my Ender 5 S1 with a sonic pad. So far the print quality rose significantly!
Apart from 1 major problem:
Whenever the printer head is moving in circles, it stumbles or nearly stops and produces blobs.
This happens nearly every layer in random positions.
All straight lines or bends and arcs that are not exaclty circular are perfect and blob free.
Using Cura 5.9.0
tried 40 and 30mm/s with 0.8mm as I found both recommended for Ender 5.
Retraction is fine everywhere BUT NOT in circles.
In some layers they are good, in some the printer head stumbles and generates the random blobs, sometimes 1 per circle sometimes more.
I use the configuration for the Ender 5 S1 that comes with the Sonic Pad, so already changed compared to the stock ones.
They work completely fine, BUT NOT for circles … Where’s the difference then?
