Is this a bed levelling issue?

Hi guys,

I recently was trying to dial in my Live-Z. I followed a really good guide here. But seem to be getting inconsistencies when printing a flat square.

Here are some images to take a look at!

Full square. left seems good right does not!

Left good, but starting to get wavy lines as we move more right.

Bubbling on the left, rough middle.

First, I do not have my Prusa i3 yet. It is on backorder.
But, I am having the exact same problem on a different printer (Wanhao Duplicator 6) only when using MakerGeeks Raptor PLA Filament.

Do you have this problem with other filaments? It is driving me crazy.

Looks kind of like slight over extrusion that is accumulating as it goes (left to right in your case).. try the first few layers again with the extrusion multiplier dropped by 1 or 2 %

Afterwards If the first layer looks good, but the second or 3rd layer looks under extruded then undo your extrusion multiplier change and instead bump up your live Z height (maybe ~25 um) as you might be printing way too close to the bed.. also make sure nozzle diameter is set correctly (0.4 if stock nozzle)
