What’s wrong with my printer?

Hello, my last prints are some kind of weird, as I’m new to 3D printing I don’t know what is causing this, maybe you know. I’m using Slicer Pe and MK3S. Here are some photos:

Hope you can help. 

Thanks.

Are you using the default profile in Slicr3PE or any tweaks?

I’m using Slic3r PE 1.42.0-beta 2 and default Quality 0.2 profile as usual.

RE: What’s wrong with my printer?

You're using the latest version and profiles then. Good.

I assume you're printing with the Prusa Silver PLA (made by Plasty Mladeč) that came with the printer? If that is the case, make sure you haven't selected the "Prusament PLA" filament preset, that one is too hot for the Silver PLA. "Prusa PLA" or "Generic PLA" are the appropriate presets.

Have the prints been good before? Have you made any changes? Can you provide a closer-up picture?

Yes I'm using Prusa Silver PLA that came with the printer, and I'm slicing using Filament: Prusa PLA.

Yes my printer was working ok before this, no changes were made.

Those are what Slic3r PE calls seams: you can change where they are located, a bit.  Another calibration of linear advance might also help. Look for the procedure somewhere on new Prusa web site empire - things have changed enough I can't direct you.  You may also want to spend some time working on layer 1 calibration; there's an active thread in the forums right now.
