Buldge effect ???

[dapper glen]

Hello there, I have a problem with a recent piece I've designed ...
I've made some researches about it and it seems to be called a "buldge effect", but there's not that much information about it. Do you have any idea where it can come from ?
As you can see, the wall thickness is thinner only on the layers containing holes 🤔

Hello! The "bulge effect" you mentioned is commonly known as "over extrusion" or "elephant foot." It occurs when the initial layers of your print are slightly squished, resulting in a bulging or wider bottom surface. This issue can be caused by several factors, such as incorrect nozzle height, excessive printing temperature, excessive flow rate, or incorrect slicing settings.

To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Check your nozzle height: Ensure that the nozzle is properly leveled and not too close to the print bed. Adjust the bed leveling if needed.

2. Adjust the printing temperature: Lowering the temperature slightly can help reduce filament flow and minimize over extrusion. Experiment with small temperature adjustments to find the optimal setting for your filament.

3. Calibration: Make sure your extruder steps/mm are calibrated correctly. This ensures that the correct amount of filament is being fed through the nozzle.

4. Modify slicing settings: Ad...
