Why Are My 3D Print Walls Not Smooth?
Unsmooth walls can come from ringing, inconsistent extrusion, wet filament, poor belt tension, Z banding, seam placement, or high print speed.
Fast answer
Unsmooth walls can come from ringing, inconsistent extrusion, wet filament, poor belt tension, Z banding, seam placement, or high print speed.
Look at the first failed area, the material, and the slicer profile before changing settings.
Check filament dryness, nozzle temperature, bed setup, belts, and the profile baseline.
Use a small calibration print so you can see which change actually improves the result.
