I’m going crazy with this problem

I have tried everything to solve this problem. I’ve tried increasing and decreasing speed, increasing and decreasing acceleration. Someone advised me to increase the number of walls, increase infill, and even change the geometry. I’ve tried everything, but nothing works.

Additionally, I have done flow tests, pressure advance tests, and every calibration test I could think of. I calibrated the filament in every possible way, and none of it solved the issue either.

What could be causing these wrinkled walls? I don’t know how to fix this anymore.

Please help.

have you dried your filament? im just learning,even when you open a freshly sealed roll of filament,regardless of how airtight they packaged it ,it still needs drying. get yourself a dry box,it reads humidity of filament before and during the drying process so you can see how moist new spools actually are..

and youre cfs machine needs to be a below 37% moisture/humidity..anything above will cause bad prints and ultimately clogs.

just to be safe,your fuzzy skin setting is tirned off right?

i would try some basic models, like a cylinder or cube, just one wall no infill, no top, nor bottom, just one wall.
A cylinder would be the best thing, as it doesn’t cause vibrations as much as a cube would, also trying different diameters of such cylinder, to see when the problem becomes more visible.

Checking the nozzle would be not a bad idea as well, or even swapping it.
Brass nozzle gives me the best results, as it can easily keep the temperature constant.

Bad flow ratio due to the extruder slipping while pulling on the filament?
I would try extreme values on the flow, like 0,7 and 1,4 to see what happens.

On the bottom(?) of the print you present in the picture, the surface is rather smooth, could be also some Z axis wobble, however, this should not occur with lower speed.

That being said, does the model in the slicer has smooth walls?
Have you tried different slicer software? like Orca slicer? which is 99% same as creality print software.

i would run some tests while changing the wall generator setting, and also wall printing order may be useful.

Might wanna check also this here:

switching to flow preview, layer height /width to see if the slicer shows it on the model. Maybe some settings are not quite right and the printer is actually executing it accordingly to the settings?

It would also definitely help if you add some basic information, for example what kind of filament, nozzle temperature, flow rate, and volumetric speed, also cooling.

One last question, does only the wall with the seam experience such problem?

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I have already tried all of this as well: drying the filament, printing a single-wall cube and a single-wall cylinder, and the defect still appears.

I have also tried adjusting coasting distance (increasing it, reducing it, and disabling it), but nothing works. I don’t know if this is a bug, a firmware issue, or if I’m using something incorrectly.

I also tested with OrcaSlicer and the problem is still there. I can’t figure out what is causing this.

I also tried enabling and disabling Arc Fitting (G2/G3), and that did not help either.

I have tested changing wall order, speeds, and accelerations, as I mentioned earlier, and absolutely nothing has worked.

The nozzle is fine, and some of these printers have less than two weeks of use—they are basically new—and they already started printing poorly.

I’d like to know if anyone has experienced something similar or has a different idea of what else could be causing this.

Not sure if this would be causing your problem but something to check. Some filaments are labeled as “Matte” where the finish will come out looking a little rough. The Matte finish is advertised as “hiding layer lines” so the surface looks more uniform.

Check your filament and see what kind it is.. :grinning_face:

it is PLA+, no matte :pensive_face:

Hi i have same ptoblem with creality hi.

In the begining i think it couse for the shaky table or anything like this.

I put the printer on ground and run input shaper calibration.

Print an old object but nothing happen

Uggly wall surface.

I done research and when i print a cylinder find the printer cant print circles perfectly.

Circle get angles.

Also notice that layer shift on embeded text back the tshirt object.

Like you i done every thing but i cant find a way to fix this problems.
