  1. Check the filament: Ensure that your filament is not tangled and is of good quality. Inferior or tangled filament can cause irregular extrusion and affect the surface finish.
  2. Clean the nozzle: Remove any clogs or debris from the nozzle that could be interfering with filament flow.
  3. Adjust the bed leveling: Make sure the bed is properly leveled to ensure proper adhesion. A misleveled bed may cause the first layer to adhere well, but subsequent layers may have poor adhesion and result in a rough top surface.
  4. Temperature settings: Experiment with different temperatures for your filament and the bed. Adjusting these settings may improve layer adhesion and surface finish.
  5. Check the belts and rods: Ensure that the belts are tight and the rods are properly lubricated. Loose b...
