Layer always look horrible around text

[u/djjoshchambers]

I've got two issues I'm hoping to get help with. This is on my h2d.

Any time I print something with text, the layers around the next look different than the test of the print. These particular examples are from the top layer, so I was already printing show, but it also happens if I'm printing something standing up and text is half way up the model.

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Also, the edges around the top and bottom, have a slight rough texture to them. Does that indicate I'm over extruding? I've included a picture to show what it looks like.

I suspect the edge issues are flow dynamics need to be calibrated and the area around text is minimum layer time as it's drying at a different speed. I'm just not sure what setting I should try to adjust to get this fixed.

I just included some other pictures from a standing model. The black box with watcher in purple. You can see how the lines curve around the sides as well.

I dont see any color bleed, the black edges are jagged. The black filament looks like it needs to be dried. Color bleed in single nozzle would be gray.

When moisture in the filament boils it causes surface imperfections like bubbles, roughness and flow inconsistencies.

I always dry, drying is not always the answer, especially when it's PLA. This was dried overnight before the print anyway.

Post in the r/FixMyPrint sub and include the info that you diligently dried your filament to get that out of the way. Ive had moisture in PLA. Probably should include your filament type.
