Unusual ghosting in print not seen in gcode
Original MK3(s? went through some upgrades) running 3.14.1 is now showing some unusual ghosting on a sliced model. Examining the gcode, it did not have the odd artifacts, which I will try to highlight in this picture, though it is hard to see. They are like ghostly copies of the interior curve on the edge of each curve. Happy to subsidize print time on a MK3s for someone to simply try out the .gcode to determine what the source of the problem could be. The following is a halted print when the problem began to manifest.
gcode is attached. Here is the model before slicing with 2.9.0:

Please run your built-in first layer 'Z' calibration and show us the result *on the print-sheet*
Cheerio,

Let me know if this is the desired angle.
Please check: it looks as if the thickness/flattening of the depisited extrusion varies, this might be expected if you were still actively dialling in the value but if not we might need to look into flatness/levelling.

The model prints fine on my MK3S+.
It prints better if you don't filp the model on its side. You will get better holes in the mounting tabs if the large flat side is on the build plate.
I would be checking your first layer calibration. What kind of filament are you using and do you have the correct temperature ?
Printed fliped on its side.
Printed on the large flat side.

Yours looks perfect. It's Prusa PLA running at default temps. Worked fine for many years. Should I raise or lower z height or does it look like a different problem?

Follow the Z calibration from the manual or Prusa web site. I find that I do better better to using a larger z-cal model from printables. From your picture, you Z calibration is out and needs to be lower as the filament doesn't looked squished enough.
