uneven vertical shells
Hi, lately I have the problem, that vertical shells get very uneven.
I've printed objects with vertical shells in the past that turned out pretty much perfect, but for some reason I get these rough results lately.
Does anyone know what might be the problem?
Re: uneven vertical shells
check to see if your bed is not loose and try to print in High power mode. are you using the stock spool holder?
Re: uneven vertical shells
Just checked, the bed isn't loose. There is a bit of play, but I think it's the tolerance of the bearings.
So far I have printed almost everything in silent mode, how does high power affect the print quality?
As for the spool holder, I am using the stock holder from the start and it hasn't given me any problems in the past and I modified it a bit to make it go smoother, but I will try to print a stand alone one. Any recommendations?

The only other thing that I can think of is the to check the belt tension being too loose. Belts stretch over time specially when they are new.
Re: uneven vertical shells
After some more testing, I found out that it was not the printers fault, but the filaments. Apparently both spools of white PLA I have, have gone bad. Probably too much moisture. I didn't consider this, because the other prints I did lately came out fine, but they didn't have a simple geometry like the object above, so the problem wasn't that noticible. At least for me.
Thanks for the help anyways.
