I printed these at 35 mm/s so i don't think its the speed. however i didn't think the wobble was that bad. I will print the bracket and report back as soon as i finish it.

<p>If you can help me with troubleshooting the artefact shown in the attached photo that would be great. It only happens when I print the Benchy parallel to the X axis and when I print parallel to Y axis it prints just fine.</p>

<p>Notes:</p>

<ul>
<li>3D printer: TronXY X1</li>
<li>Filament: PLA</li>
<li>Extruder temp: 195°C, 200°C, 205°C - doesn't matter same results.</li>
<li>Slicer: Ideamaker</li>
</ul>

# Artefacts when printing parallel to X axis

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-07-06)

If you can help me with troubleshooting the artefact shown in the attached photo that would be great. It only happens when I print the Benchy parallel to the X axis and when I print parallel to Y axis it prints just fine.

Notes:

* 3D printer: TronXY X1
* Filament: PLA
* Extruder temp: 195°C, 200°C, 205°C - doesn't matter same results.
* Slicer: Ideamaker
