Troubleshooting

Even without issues, you should look through these to familiarize yourself with things to look out for.
Especially thermal drift under “First Layer / Squish Consistency Issues”

Build Surface Adhesion

Bulging

Bulging Layers
Bulges at STL Vertices
Bulging around features
Bulging Patterns on Overhangs (SS)

Crimps

Extruder Skipping

Extrusion Patterns / “Wood Grain”

Extruder Backlash
Other Factors
Clockwork 1
Mini Afterburner

First Layer Inconsistencies

Thermal Drift

Speeds and Accelerations

PLA is Overheating

Perimeter Separation

Pockmarks

Slicer is Putting Heating G-codes in the Wrong Place/Order

Small Infill Areas Look Overextruded

VFAs (Vertical Fine Artifacts)

VFAs With ~2mm Spacing
VFAs With Non-2mm Spacing
