    Luigi, not sure what you are referring to in the picture. Could you try and explain what you are asking about?

    Well can't you see those lines at the top? Some are not placed on the item correctly and has a outgoing loop.

    Is this PLA? It could be water in your filament. I keep mine in an air tight container with desiccant. I live by the ocean so things get moist and salty.

    Can you hear it "POP" when you are printing? If there is water in it then it will make a little popping sound as it extrudes. You don't have to live in a very humid environment for this to be an issue.

    Hey Luigi, I have not been 3d printing long but I have been hammering out many prints in search of the Perfect print... my suggestions on the image is as follows: - the little lumps in the print are where the 'loop' / 'layer' starts and finishes then moves up to the next leyer - the lines that i think your asking about (as you get closer to the top), is where the angle of the curve is almost too steep and there is less filament touching each other - the little stringy piece looks like it is from when the print finishes and returns 'home', the pressure in the nozzle will continue to push plastic out. I hope they help and this is not an answer from an expert, just a nooby CYA POM
