Help needed - print quality issue

Post your settings. config.g and your slicer settings.
It looks like some corner overshoot or blobbing.
The cube also looks a bit over heated. Try printing two cubes on either side of the bed.

@MartinNYHC said in Help needed - print quality issue:
extruderExtraRestartDistance,0.05
Perhaps too much extra restart?
I think it's also a good idea to have at least 2 slicers configured and ready to go so you can compare results. That can really help narrow down if it's a machine issue or a slicing issue.

Thanks.
I used this extruder and hotend for some months on another printer and 0.05 restart was perfect. But I'll doube check it and also try a different slicer.
Currently printing two cubes at the side of the bed.

extruderRetractionDistance,0.75
M572 D0 S0.1
Your pressure advance seems high for a retraction distance of 0.75

I always used 1mm retraction and did a PA test. Result can be found here. I lowered the retraction this morning to check if that changes anything.
-
I just recognized that the "bad corner" is always the one where the layer starts.
-
As already mentioned it is always the corner where the layer starts that is "bad".
I'm totally lost. Any ideas please?
-
And another pressurte advance test...
-
Another Benchy...
-
what extruder do you have?
-
Bondtech, Mosquito Magnum with approx. 20mm PTFE tube between.
-
can you try to adjust to bondtech tension to a lot higher and try that?
-

No difference. Still the corner where the layer starts
-
you did not yet say if the print with another slicer was better

@Veti said in Help needed - print quality issue:

Oh sorry....no it's the same result.
-
and did you print one without pressure advance?
-
Yes, but in the meantine I changed some settings. Will do another print without PA.
I fear the worst that it is a mechanical issue. When I compare the prints the "bad corner" has the same pattern:
-
Without pressure advance it looks better but I still have the scars where the layer starts. I don't have an idea at all what to do next. Any more ideas from you experienced guys are very appreciated!

What PA value did you land on?
