June 25: Watch Travel Speed—Slow Movements Prevent Ghosting & Ringing Defects

Introduction

How do you fix ghosting in 3d printing? If your prints show ghosting (echo-like artifacts) or ringing (vibrations in walls), your travel speed might be too high. Fine-tuning speed reduces unwanted surface imperfections.

Why This Matters

Ghosting and ringing occur when the printer moves too fast, causing vibration artifacts in walls and edges. Reducing travel speed improves stability and precision.

How to Apply This Tip

✅ Lower travel speed to 120–150mm/s for smoother surfaces.

✅ Reduce acceleration values to prevent abrupt movements.

✅ Use stronger frame mounts to minimize wobble in prints.
