A great article about Z artifacts:

They also talk about why using SAE threaded rods for Z axis movements is a bad idea.  Who knew!  :)

Knowing is half the battle I guess. :P

This explains much with the Prusa using 5/16" x 18 threads and why the Rostock Delta has much better resolution. It's time to build the Rostock.:cool::D:P
