I’m not sure If this is what it’s supposed to look like on certain areas the bed appears to be level. It’s an ender 5 pro I’ve had nothing but issues with attempting to make sure the bed is level, and calibrating everything.

what slicer are you using ? cura does crazy things sometimes.
have you tried ORCA ?

problem would be layer height. do you have Adaptive Layers on ?

what size nozzle are you using ?
i had prints on my Ender3 Max Neo that did stuff like that randomly.
with #4 nozzle, tell the slicer it is a 0.38mm or you can go 0.42
it just pushes more material out. and has an infill interlock setting that helps lock layers together better.

i just got a new K2 Plus Combo and love it !!
i had to start learning Orca slicer bcuz Cura didnt have a profile for the K2 - unless i used a mod K1 Max profile.

Orca has my K2 Plus using nozzle settings like this..
prints come out great.

I have orca and Cura but I’ve only used orca a couple times. I think I’m going to make the switch but I need to watch some videos on all the settings and stuff and learn a little bit more about orca.
