Spectrum 275 ASA. 260 nozzle and 60 bed. Getting a lot of pinhole. Layers don't look very uniforme. Some weirdness on the bow.

I would recheck pressure advance value

I ran it again. For some reason, it was different this time. Decreased and seems to have helped a bit. The bow is now ok. Gaps on the sides are gone, but the fill seems to have gotten worse.

Seams are the exact same setting. But in any case the PA helped a lot. I do have Z Banding. Or wobble, however you’d like to call it. And I can’t quite figure out the gap issue. The problem in my mind might have something to do with extrusion multipliers. For example in the next photos, you can see the lines are going down well in the middle, but seem to over extrude at the ends. And if the lines are short, it all goes to crap.

#

The result is crappy looking layers that don’t quite recover. And if I further change the pressure advance from here, the edges don’t get any better.

I would assume your extruder is broken somehow, it is clearly inconsistent extruding. And here's is nothing about pressure advance

#

I would open it and check gears and bearings. Or buy a better one, this one look like a bondtech clone, those are always crap

#

Also, disable pressure advance at all and make sure you layers are consistent in height. After that PA helps you with better looking corners

Thanks.

The hotend fans a are on the back. Dual fans. They pull cool air into the hotend nozzle.

Oh crap! You’re right. I must’ve turned it around when I was reassembling after I had to change the heater cartridge.
