Vary wavy inconsistent prints
Hello everyone,
I've been 3D printing for a while but I learned through testing and not with tutorials and now I have a few problems that have come up on my MK3. My prints are pretty wavy even on very simple prints. Also the quality is pretty uneven. Some parts of the model are pretty good but others look like the nozzle heat was too high despite my lowering it. I have recently lubricated it. I also had to disassemble the head to clear a bad jam but I was very carfull to put it back carefully with a tutorial.
I think the problem might be simple but the results on line go in a million directions. Here are some pictures of the dice tray I've been trying to print:
This is the best side
The top looked okay
I was wondering if the bottom layer highht might be the problem
The outside wall printed higher than the inside wall on one side but was the invers on the other
Here are the wavy sides, they even had some bubble looking indents
Finally this side started well and went a little crazy near the end
P.S. If anybody has some good presets for prusa somem screenshots would be greatly appreciated just to make sure the slicecr isn't the problem. I've tested 4 now.
Your filament is damp enough that it is obscuring some of the symptoms - you *might* have a belt tension issue but first try again with dried filament and show us any problems that persist.
Cheerio,

Okay, so I have a food dehydrator and I've seen people dry thier spools with tht online. Would that be sufficient or do I need a method of keeping it dry while I print. Where I live it's a little humid at the moment.
With a print that size there is a good chance that, if you start dry - I too use a lightly modified food dehydrator - the filament is likely to be used up as fast as it deteriorates so you should be OK.
Cheerio,
