Z Banding? Inconsistent Layer Lines?

Got a MK3s+ kit About a month ago and have been trying to get it dialed in but I have these layer issues. I've tried the following:

Belt Tension

Grub screws

Different Filaments

Different Temps

Checked Tightness of various screws

Frame Wobble

Any advice on what to check/try to fix would be very helpful

You’ve already tried a lot of things to fix the layer issues. However, there are still some things you can check:

Live-Z: This adjusts the distance between the nozzle and print surface at the 0 position. It will impact your 1st layer. If it is too close (too negative on the Mk3), you can get the “elephant’s foot” defect where the bottom layer has a slight ridge around the perimeter of the part. The first few layers can be affected.

Bed leveling: Make sure your bed is leveled properly. You can use a piece of paper to check if there is enough resistance between the nozzle and bed.

Filament quality: Make sure your filament is of good quality and not too old.

Nozzle clogging: Check if there is any clogging in your nozzle.

With the power off, move the axis by hand; is it smooth? Does the resistance stay the same over the whole range?

Clean and lubricate the smooth rods, check they are not damaged/scratched. Check the idler pulley is not clogged, out of line, or damaged (loosen the belt and try turning it with your fingertip, is it smooth?)

Make your next print this:
