      Hi!
      I made an stl-file of a group of houses. The 3d model was done by Agisoft photo modelling software. In Meshmixer I added a thickness of 1 mm to the surface model. Then I used Cura to do the rest of the job, a supporting grid was added. The gcode was some 47Mb
      The print looked like a sea sponge.
      Was the file too big? The displacements seemed to be the same size as the supporting grid. First 2/3 displacing to the left and the rest to the right.

        @pertti That print looks like a classic case of layer shifting.
        You may have mechanical or stepper current issues.

          May also be layer shifting relating to the Cura "combing" settings - any chance you could upload the entire print gcode file so I could take a peek in Craftware? With the 'craziness' of the STL, I wouldn't be surprised to see the nozzle combing through infill or inner/outer walls that may be a little wonky due to various overhangs.

            Here´s the gcode

            I think that the mechanical issue could be possible, but why it changed direction once? And the displacements seemed to have a regular pattern.
            I have a 8 mm lead screw for x-axis and a belt drive for y-axis. The leadscrew screams all the time, I ordered a new one with teflon cover.
