Hi,

I've just swapped to a new PLA (Sunlu wood filled) and I'm getting strange lines in my top layer.

It is like some areas are just not being extruded at all.

Any ideas how I go about finding the cause of this?

Its a slight tweak of the profile I use with other sunlu pla filament.

I've tried to top layer setting tweaking bit not luck so far

Have you verified it's not a model issue? Also, is it on all top / surface layers, or only the final layers? Like if you printed a solid staircase, would each step have the surface messed up or just the top one?
