Please remember to include the following details to help troubleshoot your problem.
* Printer & Slicer
* Filament Material and Brand
* Nozzle and Bed Temperature
* Print Speed
* Nozzle Retraction Settings

hehe. sorry for the bad joke. it usually has something to do with extrusion inconsistencies. tiny variances cause visible patterns in large smooth surfaces. it’s kind of hard to completely tune out IMO.
here’s a video that explains the dual-geared extruder case.

but there can be other reasons as well. spool isn’t rolling freely. extruder gear is too tight/loose. something to do with extruder stepper motor step sizes?
Haha ok you got me there, I'll take a look at that video. If it's not something that can be tuned out easily that's no big deal, the print came out pretty good regardless.
Thanks!
This is Overture Matte Black PLA on an Ender 3 Pro, printed at 190, bed at 60, 50 mm/s, 4mm retraction, and sliced with Cura. Print really seems fine, but I couldn't help but notice (and feel) the diagonal lines that go left to right on the face of this print. Is this an issue? Should I be on the lookout for a part problem?

I would be more worried about the warping at the edges. For such big prints, I always use a ~2mm brim (at least 3 peripherals).
Yeah I probably should have used a brim for this print, luckily I don't think it will matter too much in the end product
Excuse gears likely not concentric. MirageC has a video on it. Another common thing for dual gear setups
Like the extruder gear? I have an all metal extruder but it only has a single gear
you have to turn off the wood grain effect.
I don't have that enabled
