Issue with vertical lines and ghosting

Hi All,

I've had my MK3S for a few months now and have been really enjoying it. Lately I've been trying to figure out some issues with vertical lines on the Y axis and some ghosting in general. I added some felt pads under the feet and tried tweaking the belt tension (currently ~255 on X and Y). I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for what to try to help improve the prints (or if this is expected and I should stop messing around with stuff).

I've attached some photos - near the top of the print i dialed the speed down to 50% which seemed to help which makes me assume it's vibration / resonance related but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

RE: Issue with vertical lines and ghosting

Get some Prusament PETG and download the Belt Tension gauge GCODE for your printer (in print library)   the display units are more a measure of drag than then are belt tension.  And do check the grub-screw tightness on the X and Y axii
