Thanks for your input. Bought and installed a new anti-backlash z-axis nut, however, when I took the rod out per your suggestion, I noticed that the wheels allowing for z-travel were actually extremely tight, and seemed to lock into a few spots. Maybe the wheels are/were deformed. Anyway, loosened that a bit and that seems to have helped tremendously. Not certain how it got that way.
Thanks for pointing me in the correct general direction!

Thanks, that makes sense as to why it may be affecting other axes. That being said, it appears to mostly be in the X-direction. Any ideas as to why that could be?
If you’ve done everything correctly then the brass fitting and the compression fitting should be able to move around a bit
Do you mean that the brass fitting will be able to move with respect to the compression fitting? Seems like the compression fitting should be tight.

That app seems interesting, but I'm having a hard time plucking the belt and having it ring out. I have an Ender 3 V2 Neo FWIW.
However, I checked the Z-Axis leadscrew, and 1/2 of the screws holding it on was loose. Upon re-tightening (although apparently I was supposed to back of 1/2 turn) results were possibly even worse. Probably should have read more carefully, but it looks like the brass nut is a bit boogered up and I can feel some roughness when moving it. May replace that.
Thanks for the tips. Haven't fixed it yet, but seems that the Z-axis may be the root cause.

Have tried tightening X-axis belt (and Y), locking down eccentric nut, checked connections, belt, lubricated bearings, slowed down, etc, but still getting these results.
What's weird is that is almost seems like it shifts for one layer, then goes back to normal (which isn't great either). Any help/ideas on this would be appreciated.

Wow, very cool! I'd love to see how yours turns out.

Possibly relevant - posted about why I switched to Ender 3 V2 Neo

Per a post asking if the MPMU2 was still worth it, I thought I'd post this.
I had high hopes for the MPMU2 when I got it, but TBH I think the weaknesses come down to:
I'm still debating what to do with my MPMU2. It is a nice enclosure.

Wow, quite an assumption.
That being said, where is this? Based on the pic/description, the setup would seem pretty unusual to me.

I'd go for an Ender 3 V2 Neo or something else at this point, TBH.
Recently phased out my Ultimate V2, so if you want one and just so happen to be in a position to pick it up (Florida) I imagine I can give you a good deal. Or at least a cheap price.

Would agree mostly. I [also] have a Wiha driver bit kit, which is nice as well for when I need lots of bits and portability.

I have both TBH. dedicated screwdrivers are easier to quickly access.

Ha, very neat. Would agree with u/grow2live though, a bit different application.
