Hey all, I just finished a run of Popandsicle’s excellent vase mode ornaments and I noticed these weird bulges happening all over the prints. The last run in a different color was flawless so I’m not sure where to start. I couldn’t find much on the issue with a bit of googling so I thought I’d check with you folks and see if you all had any insight.

I’ve calibrated my esteps and adjusted the resolution to be a bit easier on my printer (modified CR-10v2), and unfortunately my mainboard isn’t capable of linear advance.

Filament is overture royal gold, layer width is 0.6, height is 0.2.

I appreciate the help!

    This is consistent across runs in the exact same spots.

    I think it’s either mechanical on your y axis hardware or you’ve got a corrupted slicer file somehow. are you converting these differently than other prints in the past?

      I didn’t do anything different slicer-wise, but I resliced the file with a higher temp and that seemed to solve the issue.

      Then I checked the x gantry and found a ~2mm variance so I had to do that for the first time and now everything seems to be running great now lol.

        Nice catch. I thought it was probably mechanical.
