    Upgraded the firmware last evening per Robo, and started noticing these odd lines - no matter what PLA filament I use (Robo or Hatchbox), or slicing program (Cura or Simplify3D). Any ideas what can be causing them? The unit worked well until the firmware upgrade, but I can't believe it is what is wrong. Perhaps some clogging in the extractor?
    Same temps as before - 190 for extruder, 60 for bed.

    Redo the Z offset wizard and the Fine Tuning Wizard.

    Thanks for the advice. The lines are back straight again, and good printer bed adhesion.

    They went through a phase early with the firmware where they were resetting the Z offset (or the behavior) with some updates.
    I though they fixed that. Just be aware that you may need to test it after firmware updates.

    Glad you got it sorted.
