strange pattern at top of print.
Hey guys,
I am printing an iron man helmet for my son. Today I tried to print the face. I used geetech silk PLA @215C. I printed pretty slow, and the lower half looks good.
But on the upper half I am getting strange patterns. Can this be over extrusion? But why wouldn’t it show up at the lower part as well?
The inside of the mask looks great though…
Thx for any help.

Looks like underextrusion. It's also visible on the rest of the area, just gets worse and more visible at the top. Might be a partially clogged nozzle or your heatsink not getting enough cooling.

Hi. Why would you say under extrusion? I have many “high spots” on that area

Bottom part also have those pattern (looking at the supports area)
And inside are also, just not so pronounced
Silk Filaments are weird, I'll try to print the same with the cheapest PLA and see what happened.
