I had some bad filament do that. Try swapping to a new-ish roll

Re: Odd print layer problem

I am using the same roll on two different printers and one works great.

Re: Odd print layer problem

Is everything tight? No play in the bed or movement in the head? To me it looks like your z axis screw rods are warped. I would suggest using the manual control buttons, move the Z axis all the way to the top. Then send a z home command and watch for any left to right or front to back movement in the head.

Re: Odd print layer problem

Z rods may be a factor. Tossing a wellnut on may or may not help your situation.
I'm wondering at this point two things:
*Have you double checked that the hotend is secure?
*Is there any play in the belt pulleys?

Something needs to be tightened down
