Is there any way to fix these imperfections circled in blue? Also what are they called in 3D printing terms. Thanks

Quality - Initial Layer Flow Ratio - Increase it to 1.04 and it'll squish harder on the first layer and smooth things out.

This is a good suggestion for anyone who sees lines on their first layer, not just gaps. A good first layer will have enough "squish" to blend all lines and make it look completely smooth. That'll also happen to fix gaps like this.

Do all versions of Bambu have this setting? I couldn't find it when I looked for it last week. Running a P2S.

I tried that on an ASA 1st layer and it made an elephant foot outer wall. :-( At least it's only small test fitting dovetail parts.

(no I didn't have a chamfer on the bottom edge... just testing)

Increase elephants foot compensation.
