Hi mate,
Thank you, I'll clean the Z axis later when I get home from work. see if that helps. it is looking a little dirty and so I doubt it would hurt, I'll also check out the boden tube movement, although I'm fairly sure it's reasonably static.
There is very little temp fluctuations. +/- 2 degrees C, at very most
So within Cura, I changed some settings;
Skin and Infill overlap percentage (30%)-Alternate extra wall (enabled)-Compensate wall overlaps (enabled)
I got the results below. the sides are perfect, details are nice and crisp and no rough edges.
Ironing wasn't turned on for this print, however I have a feeling it may have been on earlier prints, I noticed the top layer was set to 0 for some reason, I'll adjust this up and enable ironing, see what results this gives me.
The top almost looks like it was under extruding, even though it was extruding perfectly for the rest of the layers as I stood and watched it. again, I think this is a setting I need to address, rather than a fault with the printer.
