I recently replaced my aging but well dialled in FLSun Q5 with an Elegoo CC2.

I am very pleased at being able to print much larger things, but I get this effect at height. This is an egregious example but even cleaner prints still have obvious layer shifts.

Is your printer set up on a good, solid countertop? If it rests on something that has any wobble, like a folding table, it can translate into poor prints. The higher off the build plate the print goes, and the faster you run the printer, the part will wiggle a bit without a solid mount. Also make sure all the frame screws are tight.

    We had a bunch of cheapo creality printers on wheeled tables at work. Some of the printers did something similar, so the wobbling was my prime suspect. But there was no correlation between fail and placement. It was printer specific.

    Turned out to be issues with the z-axis screw and stabilizers. A good cleaning and, I seem to remember, a new bushing, was all it took.
