A quick show and tell of how lead screw misalignment and bed not being leveled perfectly can result in surface finish issues.

tl;dr

1. Check your lead screw alignment, especially when half nut is engaged.
2. Check and make sure your bed is level. This Old Tony has a great video on that. A bed that's not level will turn tapers :)

I'm also trying out Play.ht for Text To Speech, because I hate doing voice overs. I need a good microphone, a quiet room and patience - scare commodities at the moment.
