It’s not top thickness, that’s only 3 layers and the bulge is on more layers than that.

Printed with PLA, 4 perimeters, 15% gyroid, but no infill makes difference, i don’t think this is about shell thickness.

Retraction is good, there is no oozing on retract moves and no stringing on the printed parts.

Otherwise the prints come out okay so i’m a bit stuck with this one!

You can see the bulging in all three edges on the picture, about 3-4mm from top to bottom, then a few ok layers, then again a few layers with bulges on corners.

Slicer is Prusa if that’s relevant.

Any ideas are welcome!

Does it line up with the bottom of the z? If so - is it doing solid infill layers for the top few layers?

It’s dynamic speed related settings in prusa slicer. I’m fighting with that silcer for so long that sometimes i overlook some of the settings :(
