I started getting this weird exterior wall defect that I haven’t seen before. Calibration testers come out clean though and it’s driving me insane.

Using orca slicer with an e3 switchwire trying to print parts for my other printer so I can rebuild this one into something not a switchwire.

Looks like some extrusion issues, at least for the stuff along the vertical walls. my initial guess is clogged nozzle, though it might also be temperature issues
I guess I’ll burn the last 200g on this roll going through the whole calibration suite again while the last lne is drying
I think it would be worthwile to lower speed on overhangs and add more cooling on overhangs. That should clear up those patterns.

I’m taking a complete shot in the dark, but it both X and Y axes and almost looks like similar spots every layer, which makes me think that’d it be something mechanical that’s only manifesting those conditions (like flow rate or speed). Maybe check your bolts, belts, and rails? My gut says loose toolhead/ extruder (wiggling could cause weird lines like that), but that’s more a guess than an “I’ve seen this before” kind of thing. Failing that, I’d be curious to see if that pattern shows up in a flow rate test.
I know many folks have sworn off Discord, but if you haven’t, maybe try asking there too?

Woo! Congrats on pinning down the source!
