Blistering effect on surface of print

Hi

im getting this blistering type effect on the surface of my print, the surface is at an angle so is formed over consecutive layers - and ive no idea what might be causing it. 0.4mm nozzle. extra fine settings, PLA

would anybody be able to help me diagnose? I thought I could hide it with fussy skin but then noticed it will take 3x the length to print! :frowning:

thanks for any help
Nick

What brand filament are you using and does it have a preset or are you using a generic preset?
it may be over-extruding
The walls are looking a little rough too, but its kinda hard to tell from the pictures.

Hi, it’s tinmorry filament. Matte.

I’m using the ultra fine preset in bambu studio. I think I’ll try printing outer/inner next time and seeing if that helps. But I’m not an expert so would just be guessing.

Run a calibration from the far right tab from the home button in BBstudio.
I would run a manual calibration if I was you, so you can physically see what your calibrating for. It will teach you a lot. You need to run an auto calibration for every filament you use, and yea, you will hear the nozzle scraping on manual calibration lol.
Generally if they have a profile for the filament, it should be half way decent at least, but clibrating is much better.

looking at the calibration screen, there are two options on the left. Do the flow dynamics, then the flow rate calibrations
