random protrusions in some layers

Hello Mates...

since two weeks my mini- made some really bad protrusions at some random layers

Meanwhile I tried many things (including texting the support) but I think they cant help me ether...
I think may my "nut" on Z-axis is a bit loose. (what do you think?)

Here the tings I tried:

- changed some slicing settings (also with gcode from prusa-support)
- tried very fresh filament
- adjusted the flowfactor (till its much to low)
- chacked all the belts (with prusa tension tester)
- cleaned Z-axis and all bearings (also in extruder) (added some lube (original prusa))
- installed the bondtec headbreak and NozzleX-Stained Steel nozzle
- adjusted the x-axis (as best as I could) so the Z-axis don't need to move that much
- installed the new firmware on the mini-

after each change I tried to print again. No step helped.

I printed an external sliced acceleration test. (2 different accelerations) and the faster one does not have these protrusions.

does anyone of you has a good idea what to do next?
(may its a driver oder the motor?)

 

many thanks!

 

edit:

sometimes there are good print in between.

RE: random protrusions in some layers

I got my problem!

I changed the heatbreak to the Bondtec heatbreak. But I think the instructions ware wrong. I took the instructions from prusa and it worked. The problem was, there was a tiny gap between the heatbreak and the nozzle on the inside of the heatblock.

In my opinion it´s the best to fully tighten the heatbreak and than screw the nozzel. If there is a little gap between the nozzle and the heatblock, may unturn the heatbreak half a turn and try again. 

This was the solution of my problem.
