Prusa makes clunking sound and prints show bumps on base

My Prusa I3 MK3S makes a stange clunking sound when it moves and it seems to be linked with the odd bumps I find on the bottom of my prints.

Can anyone suggest how I might solve this please?

I don't think the two are related.

The 'bumps' suggest your first layer Z setting is very sightly off, probably too low.  Redo the calibration but take note of your current live Z value before you make changes so you can easily get back and re-do as you are so close it would be easy to overshoot.

The clunking sounds like one of your X or Y motors, drive pullys or idler bearings needs attention.  To narrow down the culprit listen for the clunks when moving along just one axis at a time.  If the culprit is not obvious come back and we'll see if we can help.

Cheerio,

I would try raising your Z if the bumps appear wavy.
