This is the model I used: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4572809

I printed these by using the official orca profile from Creality for Orca Slicer: https://wiki.creality.com/en/ender-series/ender-3-v3/quick-start-guide/how-to-use-orca-slicer-with-ender-3-v3

  1. Why are the squares looking so wonky? Which setting is responsible for this?
  2. I see some spots where the prints moved to other places, but I run bed leveling every time. Is it bed warp, or some other profile setting I need to tweak? I wiped the bed with 70% isopropyl alcohol before I printed this, btw

EDIT:

Looks like the issue was with the wobbly table. I placed it on the floor, reran the self tests, and it's now printing a lot better!

It means it has measured your bed and the left side of your bed is higher than the right. Don't get twisted about the graphic as it can exaggerate the shape. Look at the numbers. I don't know off the top of my head if those are excessive

I think its a bit excessive. That shows there's almost a two and a half layer (at a standard 0.2mm layer) difference between the high and low spots. On my old printer with klipper installed, I would shoot for less than 0.2mm.
