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

  • :warning:Thermal Drift
  • First Layer Conistency
  • Squish Consistency (Between Prints)

Layer Shifting

  • Mechanical
  • Electrical
  • 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
