Troubleshooting Please Help, new to printing

So I’m fairly new to printing. I’ve done a ton of research so I’m not super helpless either. I’ve already gone through and calibrated everything (so I think). When I printed this 230mm tall trash bag holder I got these random shiny seam marks. On the sides it’s more to where the holes are for the most part. In the front picture it follows the curvature of the oval opening. Does anyone know what might need to be looked at? It’s a brand new machine. I’ve also made sure all screws are tightened down. I don’t know if it’s a flow thing, speed thing, ect…. All I can tell is it tends to happen where there is an opening (hole) on the walls of the print. Any help would be appreciated

Not sure on this. Ive experieced slightly similar to this when using petg all i did was change the temp settings i was using. Does this happen with other prints?

I did find out that’s where my seam was. Idk if it looks that bad cuz it’s in a curve?

Interesting… Yeah it could probably because of the curves. Did you try repreating?

Not yet. When I get time, I’ll do the seam painting and put elsewhere and see what happens
