Just printed this plant pot and the quality is absolutely trash. It's a large print (150mmx150mmx150mm) but printed using my normal settings. It's solid wall - 4-5 perimeters thick. Sliced in Prusaslicer 2.6.1 and printed on an Ankermake M5. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I've seen bad wheels, misaligned wheels, or failing wheel bearings create these kinds of cyclic patterns as the angle of the wheel where the problem occurs introduces inaccuracy that adds up over time.

I don't know how helpful I can be from a diagnostics perspective because I'm not familiar with this specific printer, but I would suggest checking that your wheels are secure and true and ensure that your rails are unobstructed.
