Hi everyone, i'm quite new in 3d printing and i have this issue. I don't know why it does this, but i would like a smooth surface and not this crazy path. Any tips on setting this up ?

I have a creality ender 3 v2.

This is the model i try to print

Here is a picture of the "weird" parth, the final result in the slicer and my printings settings too.

Do you have any tips to prevent this kind of thing from happening ?

    Hard to tell without having a closer look at the model, but could it be that the top surface is not 100% flat?

    By the way, the top surface is flat because the normals of the model are pointing inside-out. This *may* be indicative of more issues with your model.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
