#Weird waves in the print

Hi, I come back to the 3D printing and I was testing my printer, an Ender 3 (normal, not a pro, V2....) I notice that the benchys I made have some deformations in the same places, I try to fix the eccentrics wheels but in the moment I see the start of the new benchy I notice that the printer make some weird waves in the 3 first layers. If someone know how to fix it, let me know. (I make others test like temperature and retractions, I will send as well the result of these test)

The only mods is the upgrade of the skr mini e3 v3
Temp 215 Cº with white PLA
Marlin
Cura

I calibrated the bed 3 times and the extruder is near calibrates (I don't have a caliber)

It sounds like you're experiencing some issues with your Ender 3 printer. The deformations you're seeing in the same places could be due to several factors. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Check for loose belts: Make sure all belts are properly tensioned and securely attached to the printer. Loose belts can cause inconsistencies in print quality.

  2. Check the bed leveling: Ensure that the print bed is properly leveled. Use a piece of paper to gauge the distance between the nozzle and the print bed. You should have a slight resistance when moving the paper.

  3. Calibrate the extruder: Make sure that the extruder is calibrated properly by checking the flow rate. Printing a calibration cube and measuring its dimensions can help you determine if the extruder is over or under-extruding.

  4. Inspect the nozzle and hot end: Check for any clogs or debris in the nozzle that might affect the extrusion. Clean the nozzle if necessary. Also, make sure that your hot end coo...
