It sounds like you are experiencing a common issue known as "layer shifting" or "banding." This occurs when the layers of your print shift slightly during the printing process, resulting in visible lines or unevenness on the surface of the print.

To troubleshoot and fix this issue, I would recommend the following steps:

  3. Calibrate the stepper motor drivers: Misconfigured stepper motor drivers can cause skipped steps, leading to layer shifting. Consult your printer's documentation for instructions on adjusting the stepper motor drivers or researching other us...
