These settings are less likely to affect you on smaller prints. They translate to the speed at which your print head starts its initial movement and how fast it gathers speed on longer movements. High Jerk & Acceleration SettingsĪlong with speed, Jerk & Acceleration settings make a difference in the movements of your print head, which if too sudden, can cause vertical lines in your prints. You will find such vertical and wavy lines on the curved surfaces of the 3D printer or the flat edges of the print. Now, if you move your extruder in a faster way or too quickly, it might slide, or it will deposit and excess filament on the sides of your print walls. If the flow rate is too high, then you will see vertical lines on the 3D print, while on the other hand, if it is too slow, you will witness holes.

It tells you how much the filament is coming out of the nozzle for the printing purpose, and you have to fix it by adjusting the height of the nozzle for each layer. Now, coming to the issue, if you see a difference in the temperature reading, if it is fluctuating more than 5 degrees Celsius, then the problem starts appearing, and you will see Z lines, vertical lines, or even waves on the 3D print. One is a thermistor that reads the temperature of the jot end, and the other is a PID controller that allows you to control the temperature that you want to set. There are two things that you must know about the temperature tools attached to the 3D printer. This does not mean that it is some major over-extrusion problem, it could be as simple as a simple extra plastic getting pushed out of nozzle during the printing process, which is causing the visible vertical lines on the 3D print. I am listing all the reasons which could be the cause of the appearance of vertical lines on your print. This results because of many reasons, and some of them are too obvious. You would have noticed that all of a sudden, your 3D printer has started showing straight lines or waves or even Z lines in 3D print. 3.6 Fixing the Under-Extrusion Issue Why Do Your 3D Prints Have Vertical Lines or Banding?
