Over and underextruded solid top layer

My solid top layers are both under and overextended at the same time. Has anyone any hint? Flow is tuned. PLA @ 210, 60mm/s top layer and 1k acceleration, 60% fan, VC4 idex

Any ideas? I don’t understand this..

When I do a test print with one solid bottom layer, 2 infill and 4 top, I got a perfectly smooth top surface

And next time I print the real model I get again the over and underextrusion pattern

I have also this issue that the first layer gets worse over time and also there the weave pattern: https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1315742724221304903/1315742724221304903

Anyone? @Helge Keck do you have any additional idea? I am not sure if this is related to the first layer issue: https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1315742724221304903. Mesh is now within .1 range

Flow is perfect except those areas

One more with over and underextrusion very close to each other. Underextrusion at line end. Layer height 7.16; monotonic infill and 38% overlap

One more (bottom right overextension). I am not almost at 8kg wasted PLA 😦

Is that just visual, or is the plastic actually warped much? Like, is this just a cosmetic issue?

These are under = physical gaps and overextrusion = waves/lumps at the same time on the top layer. Interesting is that if I print the exact same shape on the same VC4 in just 2mm (cutted of from the top), then the top surface is perfect

From 2 to 10mm z is enough that the top surface is not perfect anymore

Might be PA? I've seen that on my printer before tuning PA?

PA is tuned did the tuning based on ellis guide has anyone an idea? 😦

For the wavy patterns on the bottom right: I have similar ripples on a testprint of mine i can prove to result from warping. -> what @TheTik said... Try the following: Put your print on a planar surface. Apply a little bit of pressure with your hand from top and at the same time try to slip a sheet of paper between the surface and the bottom layer. On my testprint the paper slips under the print where the ripples are on the top layer.

well it is unfortunately not warping 😦
