Struggling to understand what to do next

Hi all,

I thought I had successfully built, calibrated and completed the First Layer Adjustment. The Frist Layer Adj test looked good, solid, lines were barely visible but looked like the book.

I proceeded to do the Prusa_test_pattern_0.2mm_PLA_MK3S_25M ..No change to the Prusa file was made...the base seemed to print fine but the top of the letters are screwed up.

 

I am using Overture PLA 1.75mm +/0.03mm

Is my first layer not adjusted properly? too high? too low?

Any guidance to what to do would greatly be appreciated.

After redoing the pre-flight checks and wizard calibration a couple of times.........I am thinking I need to look at my x-axis belt. I knwo the attached image is not a good first layer but it shows that the x-axis stutters during movement.

I will have to figure out if I am to loose or too tight
