Printing issue: consistent pattern to deformation in layers

[curious aardvark]

odd combination nof a wanhao i3 maker mk2 and the creality bowden extruder.

Have you converted it to direct drive yet ?
That would be the first thing I'd have done. You've got dual z-axis steppers, so absolutely no reason not to and several to do so :-)
Should be a s simple as a printed bracket - bound to be one on thingiverse :-)

Glad we could be of some help.

Curious_aardvark,

I've done some searching but I'm not 100% sure I completely understand what is a direct drive extruder and how its different from what I have?
Sorry that this is probably a basic question, I'm still learning a ton about 3d printing.
Below is what I've upgraded on my printer so far, I would love any additional recommendations for upgrades:

• TM2208 driver (no serial port)
• Silicon rubber hotbed heater
• BL Touch auto bed leveler
• Higher end, more quiet power supply fan
• Dry box for active filament
• Higher end MK8 extruder
• Upraded Marlin to 2.x

Thanks,
Shane
