    Hi guys,

    Has anyone seen anything like this happen to their prints? I've checked the extruder for a jam but it seems to be fine. I'm printing at 215C with PLA.

    Notice there's also a small amount of bowing on the sides. Could that be a heated bed issue? I print with the bed at 40C.

    How many top layers are you using?
    The default is ... 2 or 3 (at 0.2mm)
    You might want more than that :)

    I generally suggest 1-1.5mm top layer height. IE for .2mm that'd be 5 top layers, or for .1mm that'd be 10-15
