Inconsistent larger layer lines?

[lone hare]

First few prints of this model looked great and pretty smooth, but now I'm getting some inconsistent layer lines.

Printing PLA at 215c at 0.12mm on an Ender 3 S1.

Any help on what's causing this and how to fix would be greatly appreciated!!

Inconsistent layer lines can be caused by several factors. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to fix the issue:

1. Check the nozzle: Make sure the nozzle is clean and free from any clogs or debris. You can try performing a nozzle clean by either using a cleaning filament or manually cleaning it with a needle.

2. Check the filament: Ensure that the filament is not tangled or causing any obstructions. Additionally, verify that the filament is of good quality and properly stored to avoid moisture-related issues.

3. Bed leveling: Ensure that the print bed is properly leveled. Perform a bed leveling process to make sure the nozzle is at the correct distance from the bed. Improper bed leveling can lead to uneven first layers, which may cause inconsistencies in later layers.

4. Print speed and temperature: Experiment with adjusting the print speed and nozzle temperature. Sometimes lowering the print speed slightly or reducing the temperature can improve the overall print ...
