What I personally found makes a bigger difference is getting a stepper with a integrated lead screw. Getting everything on your z-axis aligned PERFECTLY with a coupler VS just having everything aligned with an integrated lead helped me get more consistent layers.
Thanks for this info. I had no idea what the difference was between both of them and I’m trying to upgrade my 3D printer including whatever I can from the Z axis
I know you posted this video a while back, but I was wondering what nut you used for the new lead screws? I just ordered some tr8x2 lead screws and POM nuts, but the POM nuts are the standard 4-hole design. While I don't mind modding things if there's a drop-in readily available that makes things easier. Printer is a pretty heavily modded Ender 3 V2.
*NOTE*
I used the word "pitch" when I mean to say "lead"
So for example, one screw had an 8mm lead, and the other had a 2mm lead

I changed to a 2mm lead a few years ago and it does improve print quality.

no before and after? how are we supposed to know if it makes any difference wen there is no comparison?
Still tinkering and dialing in settings. Turns out the lead screw I got was out of spec, so I'm waiting to do a proper comparison

You have strong z banding. Get rid of bed springs.
I would be glad to know why you have a so nicely modified ender 3 but you didn't change firmware to klipper any reasoning behind that?
Honestly - marlin has been pretty good for me. I've been looking into Klipper, but don't see too much of a reason to change.
Is z hop speed reduced significantly?
are you from Matrix?
