I just read today that Wall-thickness setting in host software can cause a problem like that.
Don't understand how, but he said just changing that setting fixed it.
Did not say which software he was using.

It looks like a mechanical problem somewhere, like a vibration,
but I would first try different software, to determine if it is mechanical or software caused .

I found similar problem when I was using Makerbot-3.7 that was not there in Replicator-G,
It was only with one object file and only at starting point of layers tho.

Hi carl,
Thanks, does it means my hotend wobbles on printing?
I consistently set the print speed to 50mm/s, is it too fast? or I should reduce acceleration of x,y moving?

Its called ringing and is caused by oscillations in your system usually caused by printing too fast.

Hi guys,
recently I made my SD3 with some modifications
* lawsy's x,y carriages
* GT2 belt & pulley

and I found there are always vertical lines near 90 degree corners on both x and y sides,
it seems become "wave lines" for a while and then go straight , not sure how to fix it?
I'm sure the Y belts are equal tight and X belt is also tight and smooth
