Strange deformation on one side of rectangular opening in vertical wall of a print
This seems to happen every time I print. I'm printing an enclosure case for a small IoT project; the case has some rectangular holes designed for display, access to SD card, etc. On one side of each cutout there is a strange ripple effect (see photo), which is not found on the opposite side of the hole. I'm assuming it's some sort of acceleration/deceleration effect, but I don't know for sure. This appears on the X-axis sides of the print; I've tested the tension of the X belt and it seems OK. Anything else I should try to diagnose this?

You are using a SPEED profile which trades quality for time ... try using a STRUCTURAL or QUALITY profile and even a non Input Shaper printer profile.

Please save your project as a .3mf file
Files > Save Project as
Zip the .3mf and post it here. It will contain both your part and your settings for us to diagnose.

That seems to have done the trick. There are still some minor artifacts in the print, but it is now usable. Thank you! 😀

🤣 I was 10 seconds into looking at the forums for help with a print issue and this thread seemed like it was made for me. Love this community!!!
I'll try printing in structural or quality before asking about my own strange deformation
