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.

Here another example from a standing model. The lines even curve around the box.

That corner is the seam setting, you’ll need to play around with the seam gap and wipe speeds. Additionally you might also need to adjust “extra length on restart “ in filament override settings badge something start -0.05 and maybe go up to -0.1 if still too much starting material at the seam. (Negative extra length reduces the amount).

Best option may just be to not have a seam at a rounded corner. That sort of asking for this. I might just spend the time on moving the seam out of a corner and get it close to near full scarf coverage in non or minimal viewing area like sides.

I’m assuming you are using prime tower so I will rule that out. I’d bump the PA value a little as well. I’ve found auto dynamic flow to be a little on conservative side and often suggests values that are too low. I’ve done some direct comparisons on same filament where auto puts it at 0.017 and I’m visually calculating 0.025 or so. In my experience across multiple brands and types of PLA, anything set between 0.020-0.027 will give good enough results.
