Hi,
What could be the cause of this periodic error, most visible in the yellow print, but also present in the blue ?
Thank you,

I think that is what is often referred to as z wobble, I had that happening and in my case it was due to backlash and generally things not being tight and stable

Thank you,
That was the keyword I needed for further investigation.
Some oil on the Z-axis helped a bit, but I still need a bit more adjustments.
Thx,

It can be a problem with your layerheight and your z-axis pitch.
Take a look at this.
