At medium speed en resolution, I get resonance of the nozzle, which gives a pour quality.
What can I do?
What are you using for slicing?
can you post pictures of your Delta?
Maybe a small movie when it occurs?
Please supply as much info as you can.
Vertex delta experience
Here is a picture of my delta and the poor result of a print. The output of the nozzle was good in the beginning, but now it is decreased seriously. The effect of the horizontal resonance was increasing from the beginning. The first 5 mm in height was ok.
From the normal speed it was occasionally increasing and vibrating in the length (20 Hz?). In my opinion this is not caused by the slicing, but by something in the driver. On the forum I saw a post with a similar problem. I tried to film it, but is was not visible on the film.
The slicing is done with the Repetier program V2,05 with the CuraEngine step 0,2 mm and 36 mm/s speed.
I hope you can repair these problems.

Since the picture of the printer is so far away and small can’t really tell anything.
The cups that hold the magnetic ball are they tight?
Mine came loose and gave similar problems.
I wrapped plumbers (Teflon) tape around the screws about 4 wraps.
After recalibration the printer the nozzle production is normal again and the printing quality is resonable, but the occasional high speed caused the disconnection of the rods. This happend twice last night. The head was falling down.
The screws are tight.
One thing I can see in your picture is the way you have the cable assembly running to the print head.
This may not fix it but you should try to run it the same way in the picture below.

Thanks! I have bend the cable in this way. Are there any ways of preventing the
disconnection? Stronger magnets?
I don’t know about stronger magnets.
However mine does not disconnect
I think it’s because the way your cable is routed.
I just measured the magnet force. Its from 5 to 7 N. From Supermagnete I get a force of 14 N in the specification, but I don’t know how it is measured. I can try them.
I will test the right cable shape.
Before you do anything you should set it up per the instructions.
I think this will fix all of your issues.

I tried to follow all the instructions carefully.
Why should a model be “watertight” for slicing? When I let it repair it is becomming a complete solid.
Now the printer stops every now and then. The filament is unloaded and I get the message to load a new filament. Then I can press resume printing. This is very nasty. The filament sensor seems to work well.
Not all filament is the same size.
The K8800 has detection in case the filament runs out (very nice feature).
However if the filament is thin in areas the printer will think the filament is not present anymore.
You can unplug the sensor to disable this feature.
Look in this link.

I was going to ask if rerouting the cable helped the other problem.
The water tight error means there is something wrong with the drawing and the slicer is having a hard time dealing with it. The repair option doesn’t always work the way you think it should.
The nozzle is not producing anymore. I tried to unload and load the filament. Is it possible to clean the nozzle? May be there is a particle inside.
After repairing the belt, the problem did not happen anymore. See my message.
I haven’t had to clean mine yet.
I have removed the tube from it and heated it and took some filament and pushed it through and seems to have helped.
When you load it does the filament come out of the nozzle?
If so maybe you need to recalibrate it again it might to close to the bed.
That is correct. After “repairing” the function of a model was completely wrong. A boat should be hollow, and now it was almost solid. Is there an alternative program?
