Those lines are horizontal, right? Which means they are layer lines? If so it sure looks like you need to clean the Z screw - sometimes when the Z screw gets dirty and you ask to change the Z by 0.1mm it actually only moves 0.09 for example for a few layers then suddenly it moves 0.2mm. It all averages out in the end but you get these layer lines. So normally I'd say clean the Z screw and maybe try thicker layers. Often 0.1mm layers looks better than 0.05mm layers.
Or are you talking about that dark line where the barrel connects to the... um... whatever it's called. That would be a slicing issue if that's what you mean.
Thanx for your reply gr5, the marks are vertical in the print. I think I can say with certainty that it is not a physical property of the printer. IF it was, then it would make no sense that I was able to get a perfect print from Slic3r PE while using the same print speed, jerk, accel, temp etc etc etc
I have tried printing at 40mms with no change in the defect. Actually no change at all in the quality of the print by going slow. I usually print at 80mms with PLA, the print I was able to get that was perfect (with Slic3r PE) was done at 80mms
There was some change in other aspects as I adjusted jerk and acceleration settings, but none in the defect.
The layer height I am working with is 0.15 and I am using a .3 nozzle.
