Artifacts at beginning of extrusion

[white prairie]

Has been plaguing the printer since I built it, and it's a real shame because I'm extremely happy with the quality otherwise.

It appears that you are experiencing some artifacts in your prints. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to check the following:

1. Check the belt tension: Ensure that the belts are properly tensioned to prevent any artifacts caused by loose belts.
2. Review the print settings: Make sure that the print speed, temperature, and layer height are set correctly for your filament and printer.
3. Inspect the nozzle: Check for any clogs or debris that may be affecting the print quality.
4. Calibrate the extruder: Verify that the extruder is calibrated properly to ensure consistent extrusion.
5. Update firmware: Ensure that your printer's firmware is up to date to take advantage of any bug fixes or improvements.
