Help with Weird Print Flaw (Pic Attached)

OK. I appreciate the effort in posting all those screens. However, that’s not exactly what I am looking for although it is helpful going forward.

Here are examples of the kind of study we are trying to do with your model.

First question? Does this happen randomly or in certain locations?

So what your photos do not show is what’s happening under the surface. If there are underlying structures such as reinforcements that the CAD translation performed, it will not show on the outside.

We are effectively X-raying the model with these shots.





If you’re lucky, you will find that there is some specific structure (a seam, a joint, or a thicker part of the model) causing the filament to flow differently. I say “lucky” because the holy grail is to actually identify that issue, as we did in this post I linked to earlier. His issue was easy to spot because he uploaded the model, allowing me to compare what he had on the screen directly in my slicer and illustrate the problem. From there, it was up to him to try different solutions to remedy it. However, hopefully, we saved him a lot of trial and error, which is exactly what this support forum is supposed to be about.
