Sorry for the potato quality picture. I really thought we were over this since I tune the vref, but I guess not.

Do you guys have any idea why my info would look like this but all the walls on the printer are fine? I assume if it was a clog nozzle it would be inconsistent.

Is that petg? For some reason I usually have problems with petg and infill patterns that cross over itself so I usually switch to gyroid. I think it has something to do with the speed and flow and the properties of the filament that make it especially bad when the infill lines cross over itself. You can probably tune temps, speeds, and feeds to get it to work but I find it easier to just not use that infill pattern.

It is PETG. That’s good to know. I’ve got a few more prints on the docket so switch to gyroid and see how that goes. Thanks for the tip!

I also have issues like what you're having when I'm printing with PETG, and using gyroid infill pattern eliminates it completely for me.
