Z print bulges anarchy

Hello everybody,

I'm using Prusa I3 MK3S+ for more than one year in my office and I recently met a very strange behavior.

I'm using a PLA STRONG from RS and I needed to print a part with only some elements with a high (50%) infill for rigidity.

So I tried for the first time the function to split printing parameters depending on Z using the zones. So the lower part use 50% infill while the rest is at 15%.

After the 50% infill ended, I noticed a bulge and didn't worried much. But after some more layers, bulges started to appear more and more often. Until it was completely a mess so I stopped the print. I joined a photo here:

I tried again to print this part and reduced the flux to 92% after the 50% infill zone.

I still have some strange bulges but the rest of the part seem to print well:

 

I would like to know if there is a way to avoid this kind of problem.

Thank you.

I would first check the grub screws in the axis pulleys and then the belt tensions.

Before you dismantle print this tool:

https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/46639-tension-meter-for-the-gt2-belts-of-i3-mk3s-or-prus

It MUST be printed in Prusament PETG to get the correct flexibility.

Cheerio,

Hi,

Thank you for the answer.

I don't have Prusament PETG at the moment, I will post an update when I'm able to test the pulley.
