We’ve cleaned our printers to remove dust on the glass, which is a very painstaking process. However, we’re still seeing some serious layer lines/banding on prints regardless of the orientation of the model on the build plate.

Any advice?

Was there any cups detected inside of preform? That looks almost like its fdm. Maybe try printing it tilted or changing the layer thickness
