This is layer 2 or 3. It will be covered by the next few layers but I feel like it shouldn’t be this fugly. I’m using Cura’s Standard Quality except for temp which is set to 205. The filament is Inland PLA.

    Does that top surface feel ridged? To me this looks more like an issue with either overextrusion or z offset too low than temperature.

    Update: I wasn’t able to fiddle with it for a few days but after getting back to it have something I like.

    My current settings are based on the feedback in this thread and:

    z-offset made the single biggest difference. I reset the printer config and re-leveled.

    To me it looks like your flow rate is too high. Calibrate your e-steps. That and raise your z offset. I don’t think it’s temperature related.
