Tons of woodgrain, how can this be fixed?
This is one of the more severe examples [black pla+], but this is happening in as good as to every print I do regardless of the filament.
I've done input shaper and all thag already..

seems like the layers aren't stacking vertically precisely. Check for any hotend wobble/movement
Yep, had half the screws loose until yesterday and this was just the layer lines looking like grain
I'm now running into this though


Sorry the lighting is very bad a the moment, but basically it appears to be under extruding the corners, could that be pressure advanced?
could be, did you run any tuning prints for PA?
Yeah, but this was on PLA+, I calibrated for same brands none + pla
Here's a better image

I recommend getting a small magnifying glass or loupe, so you can really see whats going on
Yep, hold up
Stupid thunderstorm is ruining my lighting :m_waaaah:

are those walls suposed to be vertical the whole way?
sorry I did not see your response. Yes, they are suposed to be vertical the whole way
Since they aren't vertical, i'd suspect some belt/stepper skipping
That's super strange tho..
I've already bumped them to 1.6A and have the belts pretty solid
There's definitely some pressure advance and over extrusion issues going on here, and thats separate to any potential Z alignment issue.
Can you post a screenshot of these objects in the slicer preview, I feel like we're guessing a little bit about how they're supposed to look and that makes it difficult
