Hi Greg, Thanks for your answer. So the last thing I changed was the extruder. I switched to direct drive. I moved the extruder along X axis and realized that it wasn't moving evenly. It felt like it was falling into a notch every coulple inches. I replaced the wheels and it is now moving smoothly. I reckon some wheel shape irregularity was causing the nozzle to move wobble vertically while the extruder was moving along the X axis. I have also reduced the inner wall flow. The quality has has improved a lot. But the uneven extrusion along X axis is still there, but has improved a lot. I will try and verify if the bed is heated evenly. Should I upgrade the x axis to a rail and get rid of the wheels?

Hi there I am using an Ender 3 with direct drive and heated glass buildplate. I print with PLA+ After I switched to a direct drive I noticed that the extrusion along X axis is uneven. It is most noticeable in the 1st layer. My only work around it is squishing the 1st layer to fill in the gaps in the X axis. But that of course causes problems in the first 10 layers or so. I replaced the 3 nylon wheels the direct drive is using but it didn't help at all. I verified the filament driving gear and it looks good too. What could possible be causing that? Thanks!

Hello I'm trying to print these two cylinders. I realized that for some reason the nozzle always passes 2 times over each circle ( the red ones on the screenshot below). the cylinders are hollow and have a 1mm thickness. I am using a 1mm nozzle and I specified the wall width of 1mm. Because of this 2nd pass, the PLA doesn't have time to cool down and it results in a failed print. How do I force CURA to pass only 1 time per circle?
