Diameter of printed cylinder too small despite calibration
I still don't know the reason why this happened, but for now I simply upscaled the cylinder diameter in the slicer by 0.2 mm

Diameter of printed cylinder too small despite calibration
Well I calibrated using califlower. And printing larger parts are absolutely accurate in size.

Diameter of printed cylinder too small despite calibration
I tried now with JAYO PETG. The effect is a bit smaller, but still there. Size should be 8 mm, but is 7.8 mm

I found this behaviour using Orcaslicer and Polymaker Polylite ASA.

Problem with webcam (error connecting)
I set the parameters for the camera within crowsnest.conf to "camera-streamer". The connection now works.
After booting several times. I just for fun tried to change the camera to "Adaptive MPEG-Streamer"

Now the crowsnest.log shows that the camera is recognized. But for some reason ustreamer does not start.

Then I did "sudo apt updates" and found that some repository names seem to have changed. I accepted the change and afterwards did "sudo apt upgrade".

Vertical ripples/horizontal lines/Z-banding
Today I also did a larger print with PETG in the center of the plate and there were no ripples visible at all. I checked with a knife-edge square..

Vertical ripples/horizontal lines/Z-banding
Again all three cylinders look okay and no ripples.
Then I tested again with cubes at the exact same position (tri level measurement position). The cubes now look also okay with almost no ripples (only minor, barely visible and random; I'd consider them normal, maybe double layers caused by warping)
Then I tested with two cubes in the center of the plate. The ripples are visible now again.
This really confuses me... Maybe they are visible due to the matte finish of this filament. In fact it looks worse than it is?

Vertical ripples/horizontal lines/Z-banding
Hmmm, very strange... All three cylinders look the same and without ripples...
Only difference: The filament was not totally dry and cold. Before I dried it for at least 6 hours and used the still warm spool...
But this should not make a difference regarding the ripples, right?
Nevertheless: I started drying and will retry printing the cylinders. Let's see if this makes any difference...

Vertical ripples/horizontal lines/Z-banding
I remeasured 1m of filament (each 5 cm). Diameter stays between 1,7 and 1,67 mm, so it cannot be excessive material. Maybe varying density?
Or does it have to do something with hotend and 0,4 nozzle?
Or did I just get a bad spool? (Well I ordered another one to check this)

Vertical ripples/horizontal lines/Z-banding
I did some more test prints (simple cubes) with varying print parameters (Number of walls, Speed, etc.).
My first print was with two cubes at once and the second print with one cube alone.
The distance between the ripples doubled from two cubes to one cube, which means there is definitely some problem with the filament...
Z-axis i definitely not the problem otherwise the distance between ripples wouldn't change...

Vertical ripples/horizontal lines/Z-banding
I just printed the same part using JAYO PETG filament. It shows no horizontal lines now.
So I guess it's not an issue caused by hardware alone and has to do something with the filament.
I measured the thickness of the filament for around 1m.... Diameter does not change.

Just a comment: using "press_gcode" makes more sense to me when pressing the button in reality.
