Strings more visible over time
Hello! First of all, i'm so happy and pleasured with my Prusa MK3.
I did a benchy and torture test as first prints, no trouble, printed very good. Now when I prints more parts to make a IKEA enclosure I clearly see a pattern, those strings are more and more visible over time.
I have checked all nuts, screws and stability of my table. Even printed it at floor but those strings won't disappear. May you help me? I also checked the troubleshooting guide I found.
First print of IKEA enclosure parts. Seems ok!
Same part as first.
Second part printed, you now see those strings.
The third and last before I'm asking you at the forum. The strings are more spread over all the part.
You can also see the marks from the nozzle, is it too close to bed?

The irregular lines suggest extruder is having trouble.
1. Open extruder cover and check idler axel pin is engaging both sides of mount rather than just one mount. Pin should be recessed relative to both sides.
2. Adjust extruder tension (with filament out) to about 1 turn tighter than where springs start tensioning.

Now its prints very smooth first layer again!!
I will wait 3 hours to see if those irregular lines disappeared.

Re: Strings more visible over time
how often does those tension screws need to rechecked?
