Hello!
Already that week I am suffering with the problem, reprint and rebuilt half of the printer, but the vertical surfaces is still not smooth. In what could be the reason?

Printer is Prusa with [www.thingiverse.com] and [www.thingiverse.com]. But without Z lower stabilizer the same.
Slicing software - KISSlicer and slic3r - there is no difference. Layer heights 0.4 ΠΌΠΌ.

I recently had the exact same problem. To solve the problem I switched from a standard threaded rod to a ACME lead screw (nut - McMaster, Lead screw - McMaster ), I added a lower and upper bearing stabilizer and a manufactured x and y belt pulley. Total about $60 USD. Now I have nearly perfect prints. One last issue causing minor issues for me is random fluctuation in filament thickness.

I've been getting similar results with my Printrbot lately. For a while, I thought it was a software thing but now I narrowed it down to my Z axis rod being off alignment. I think what happened is that I over tightened my X axis belt causing my X carriage rails to slightly bend thus making my z rods spin at an angle.
