Weird swirling problem?

I've been having this weird issue pop up every now and then where the printer somehow manages to make swirling patterns in my prints, thus ruining them. I'm assuming it's a simple dust clog because my room can be pretty dusty, and whenever I cold pull it fixes the problem as well as removes dirt. However, the pattern is what makes me think it could possibly be a firmware glitch. Idk why the printer would create this spiral if the problem was just a clog. Maybe someone could explain it to me.

I use simplify 3D as my slicer, but I don't think this is the issue because I've had this problem before and I was able to get both a failed print and a successful print from the same file.

Re: Weird swirling problem?

seems like a problem with missing support structure, which sometimes lets you drop down a layer at the edge of a structure.
try to increase the temperature a little bit and the fan.

dem inscheniör is' nix zu schwör...
