The problem I'm having is peaks and valleys in the bed map. It's actually worse than it's was before. viewtopic.php?f=37&t=12768 sadly all the pictures have timed out. Here is my bed map now. Manual says tight enough they don't slip, I'm passed that to get this good of results.
One other concern is how tight the CF arms are on the metal balls. I might swap the plastic ones back in to see if that is adding to much of a bind.
I kinda hate to call this backlash because it's not that simple, it's related to the last direction moved. Here is a macro I have to test for it a each tower. If someone doesn't mind run this and post the results. This is a duet with a smart effector.

Boring details. This was a v2 with a duet. It's now a V3 frame, ac heated bed, .9deg steppers, metal ball joint, CF arms, smart effector, maker713 effector mount, 24V power supply.
