How to fix Top-Layer transition issue?

Hello,

Seems like for a while (i suppose I have not noticed) that when transitioning from top-late to doing more layers on top, there is an issue with walls. This causes issues in an otherwise perfect print for me…

As you can see in the photos:



As you can see, the lower deck of the benchy looks fine, but the wall on the layer above that where it starts to build towards the top deck has some sort of over extrusion, before correcting itself. Is this a know issue and is there a way to fix this?

What printer, nozzle, profile, non-standard settings and filament are used?

X1C, .4 mm, 0.2 layer standard profile, no setting changes, PLA and ASA both do this. Only change for ASA is increasing bed temp to 115 instead of 90 because it doesn’t stick to the Engineering Plate at 90.

Imperfections (zits) on the walls are normally damp filament. Even PLA is prone to this in a humid climate. Perhaps what looks like over-extrusion is also a manifestation of damp PLA as the water “explodes” when suddenly heated to 215C?

A left field guess is check that the extruder and nozzle screws aren’t loose.

PLA with all the standard settings prints a good Benchy. If it’s not BL PLA, perhaps the temperatures need a tiny adjustment and a flow calibration to input a better K-factor manually.

When PLA is printing ok then venture onto the ASA.

Good luck
