I'm on a ocd tweak venture and want to fine-tune pressure advance and flow manually, but don't know what causes these uneven layers with light hitting from above yet. Any idea?

Uneven layers with light hitting from above could be caused by a few potential issues. One possibility is that your printer's Z-axis is not properly calibrated, resulting in inconsistent layer heights. Check if your printer's bed leveling and Z-axis alignment are correct.

Another potential cause could be inconsistent extrusion caused by incorrect flow rate or inadequate pressure advance settings. You can manually adjust these settings in your slicer software or firmware to fine-tune your printer's performance. It's recommended to make small adjustments and test each time to find the optimal settings.

Additionally, check if your printer's belts and pulleys are tight and properly tensioned. Loose belts can cause shifts in layer alignment, resulting in uneven layers.

Remember, troubleshooting printing issues can be a process of trial and error, so make incremental changes and test after each adjustment to isolate the problem and find the best solution.

Ain't overextrusion as that last print was underextruding as i'm balancing PA and flow atm.

Honestly wish that A.I "helper" above could analyze images already so it can see instead of just guessing every possible reason lol.
