Very small lines on "buddy" - Z axis issue?

I just put my MK3 together this weekend and WOW am I amazed at the quality of the prints so far - Benchy looks better than ever! I then printed "buddy" here and fron the top it looks extremely smooth - unless you enlarge/zoom in you can not even see the layers on the back of "buddy" - but on the sides (both sides) you can see a few layer issues (see attached picture). I wonder if this is a Z axis motion issue - although I didn't see any shifts/layer issues like this with benchy. I've now started a larger print to see if there are similar issues, but mean while I am looking for ideas to what could be wrong with my setup.

Re: Very small lines on "buddy" - Z axis issue?

maybe belt loose, or toothed drive wheel loose on motor shaft or idler wheel tight

assuming Buddy was looking forward, these issues will probably be on the X axis
