    pla - look at the temps.

    Okay it's definitely not a calibration issue.
    Your first layer is going down fine by the look of it and the print is reasonable for at least the first few layers and that's mainly what bed calibration is for. So what you have is a print head that's not moving properly or filament that isn't extruding evenly.

    You've probably either got a loose belt or a slipping gear on one of your stepper motors, or possibly a dodgy connection.
    Check your extruder as well. Make sure the filament feed tube is as short as it can be without creating any sharp bends.
    It could be that on that side of the print, it's struggling to push the filament smoothly. Or it could be slipping at the extruder itself.

    Also why are you changing your print temp from the first layer ?
    Pla is much better printed at 210 throughout. You want to print as hot as possible to reduce back pressure from the nozzle.

    here's a thought. Switch the machine on. Home all axis and then with the stepper motors locked. try and see if you can move any of the carriages by hand. If any of them move even a little bit - that's probably your culprit.

    Here's my delta 'blog' might be something of use in there for you as well. http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.p...t-a-delta-kit-)

    As far as I can see all deltas are pretty much identical. The basic principles and mechanics are anyway :-)

    (looks up the flsun) - Hmm, don't like the look of that top mounted extruder, that could definitely be causing issues. Try it on the side, like mine, reduces extremes of curvature on the filament feed tube. .
