You should adjust your microstepping, and make sure your gantry isn’t too stiff. That patterning that you’re getting is basically due to the microstepping jumping steps. So instead of 1 2 3 4 5 6, you get 1 1 1 1 5 5 5 5. This can be caused by running the wrong motor type, or having too much force required to move the axis, etc.

Also depending on firmware and slicer, sometimes using a layer height that is not an even multiple of microsteps can cause that sort of patterning.

@Alex_English that’s not a layer height issue for sure. I’m talking about the patterning on the abs.

@ThantiK you mean the ‘wood grain’ effect I see on the torso, right?

Right, I was referring to the small horizontal lines in the cloth layers that have an uneven period (two lines over the calf, two over the knee, etc.)

@Alex_English also unlikely, given that the rest of the part is perfect. More likely is dust/debris in the linear rails, or a clog that it worked through.
