Wavy printing problem

Hey there! I just got my i3 mk2, first 3D printer ever, and I decided to go with the kit. Only issue is, after getting it put together I've run into an issue I wasn't expecting. My prints are wavy, but mostly on the right side, and it seems to be a Y axis issue. The waves only appear on straight lines going along the Y, and on any curves or diagonal lines. The left side of my prints seem much better, but there is still a small wave effect. Hopefully someone can help with this.

You can see it really well here on the batman logo. Left side is pretty untouched, the right side has waves and gaps. I'm assuming the gaps are because of this effect.

Re: Wavy printing problem

Is that the underside of the print?

If so, then you need to lower the live-z-adjust.
