<p>I have a zonestar P802QR2 model. This problem has been appearing since I first started using it and I'd really appreciate some help here!</p>

<p>The prints always come out wavy and I'm guessing the y-axis is the main problem since the wavy lines come out stronger when moving in certain directions. The worst is when its moving towards the +ve y-direction.</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/kNK0A.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/kNK0A.jpg" alt="single layer print"></a></p>

<p>I printed an octagon outline here to show the difference for different directions. The problem appears regardless of the speed setting. (ignore the poor taping, it doesn't affect the current problem)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

stick a small container of water on the corner of bed. When it's moving in the +ve direction does the water generate waves or does it just slosh around? (think bubble level)

@user77232 i can't call them waves but the +ve movement causes more of small vibrations while the -ve is just sloshing. what does this mean?
