The end result should be a constant temperature of the hotend nozzle and bed. I covered this topic in a previous article where I covered the hotend and heatbed PID tuning process. If all of the previous steps were checked, a PID tuning needs to be performed. Temperature variations caused by improper PID tuning
This is an important step on making sure that the Z rods are properly installed and the stepper motor vibration or misalignment is not translated directly into the Z axis. If the operation is done correctly, you should be able to manually compress the coupler and see some movement. In order to fix this issue, you need to loosen the screws from the couplers and manually raise the Z rods for about 0.5 mm, then tighten the screws again. On my printer, the Z rod and the motor shaft were touching and the couplers were not doing their job. The flexible couplers are designed to allow some deviation between the motor shaft and the Z rod and compensate for the misalignment of the two. When I received my Sidewinder X1 I noticed that the stepper motor couplers were not installed correctly from the factory.
