Print ugly in the back and perfect in the front. No issues calibrating.
I've printed a very good looking benchy and a few other parts sofar, this is the first print in galaxy black but that shouldn't matter. In the back of the printer the print is very bumpy and uneven while in the front it is clear and fine. The pinda probe throws no warning. What can I try to fix this?
RE: Print ugly in the back and perfect in the front. No issues calibrating.
Try rotating the print 180° on the Z axis to rotate the front to the back. If the defects stay at the back of the plate, it's likely a cooling issue. Check the alignment of your cooling fan, make sure there's no blockage, etc. If you've added a silicone sock, be sure it's not blocking airflow, and consider a fan duct that routes around the sock better.
That's all that comes to mind based on the description. Pics showing the front and back would be helpful.

It's a stock MK3S+ printer (kit). Will try the rotation suggestion, thanks for the reply!
