When the printer starts depositing material, the layers should be roughly the same height and width all the way around your print. A small amount of variation is acceptable, but all layers should generally be "pancake" shaped, flat on top with rounded edges, signifying a good layer height.

Note: You can only tell this by watching the first layer of the print! Always check the first few lines before leaving, it greatly reduces the risk of your print failing as soon as you walk away.
