prints changed after 2 days of not printing. Any ideas?

Sorry for my terminology ignorance, otherwise I could probably gotten an answer with a search.

Today my prints are just bad. I had my Z dialed in pretty well (-1.700 which leads me to believe my PINDA is too high? but thats another issue).

The picks at the bottom were printed last week, after I got my printer dialed in pretty well for my noob eyes 🙂

The top picks are today (and JeffJordan Life adjust Z squares look the same way)

Does anyone know what is causing this issue?

I figured it out. Bolt holding tension on Y belt was loose. :/

Wavy like water - Z is too low.

Glad you figured your Y belt tension is an issue.  So is your Z.  Even on your "good" pictures, you've got a way to go to dial in a smooth first layer.  Remember these sayings.

Wavy like water, Z is too low (nozzle is too close to bed).

Curly on edges, Z is too high.
