    Is it happening on any straights? maybe its the slicer making tiny stops during the curves.

    Have you tried many slicers?

    If it is pausing that is probably not good. The head can ooze when it stops like that.

    In any event this is over extrusion. Run the test to make sure that normal operation does not over extrude (in other words, commanding a 10mm extrude actually extrudes 10mm. not 12) and try another program to do the print.

    If that doesn't help try a different USB cable. Poor USB communications can make things lag.

    i just completed a print with cura and everything looks to be good no pausing or anything but when I type in the hot end and bed temp on the movement controls screen the temp goes up higher than what i put it. EX: I input the hot end temp to be 210 and cura heats it up to 220. I input the bed temp to be 50 and cura heats it up to 70

    Sounds like the temperatures are defined in the slice settings. Manual controls don't matter

    If you in a dusty environment make sure you have a filament cleaner as well, that can cause some weirdness in prints.

    I think my problem was matter control because I just got finished with the same print that is shown above and it looks flawless! Thanks for all the support guys!

    I just switch to Cura today, seems to work better, I noticed it does not lag when my monitor goes to sleep and i move the mouse it continues, unlike with matter control it would stop printing for 5 seconds.

    Yeah in matter control I would be on here looking at forums or on youtube and it would constantly keep pausing. Were you having the same problem with your prints?
