Any ideas on this new issue only affecting one of my printers, only seems to be on the bottom layers of a base mode print. The layers that are not done as one continuous spiral. Photos are before and after, ignore the banding on the before! (Thats another issue I have fixed)

Can’t figure this one out, driving me mad as I have orders to fulfil

Solved:

So a combination of three changes finally got me back the correct result.

Changed the nozzle for a brand new one, that helped a lot but still had a fee issues.
Remeasured my extrusion amount and recalibrated the e-steps, they had gone quite a way out.
Reduced the temp by 10°C apart from the first layer.

The last time I had overextrusion was due to overuse of matte filament (abrasive). The hole of the nozzle was too large. Since you only have this issue on one of your printers, have you checked the nozzle?

I will check that, I hope its that as that would be an easy fix. Also I only use matte filament.
