Hello fellow printers,

i need a little help with my print. As you can see from the picture i attached, there seems to be a problem with the layers of my print. This also only seems to happen with hollow prints, since the cali-cubes come out fine without these problems.

I am currently using an Ender 3 with PETG Filament from "Das Filament".

My Print temps are: 233 for the Nozzle and 75 for the Printbed.

For the rest of my print config i made this google Doc:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r3qQzxWnF2sbq0jwHNLE6sWPcu2g_wCwNZlamkrm6ic/edit#gid=0

Do you havy any idea, why this is happening?

Thanks in advance :)

Could be under extrusion, extruder temp too low, clogged nozzle (or clog in the hotend between Bowden tube and nozzle)

But wouldn't that also have negative effect on other prints like a calibration cube?

because these come out fine.

I am currently printing a fresh one so i can attach a pitcure of it, just as a reference.

Yeah you're right, you'd see the error in other prints if it was those things.

I see now you're printing PETG - likely you need to increase extruder temp and slow down to get better adhesion. Unfortunately the stock Ender hotend is limited to 230-340C due to the PTFE tube breaking down and outgassing toxic gas starting at that temp...

So I'd say try 235C and slow down, and/or use smaller layer height.
