Layer skipping (potholes on the model)

@Rwide In regards to retraction, it’s actually the opposite. 1mm is the MAX for just about any filament on the Snapmaker, including all versions of PLA, PETG, and ABS/ASA.

@BattleDog
Immediate solutions:
Dry the filament
Slow down your print speed…45mm/s at most
Reduce retraction further…0.5mm @ 20mm/s
Check slicer’s “Combing Mode” set to “Within Infill.”

Ultimate solution:
Tune EVERYTHING, and it will fix/prevent 99% of all issue…all tuning steps listed here at the end of the first post:

The difference print tuning makes

Here we have a selection of 3D Benchies printed with various slicers and print profiles. This is to serve as a comparison for the differences that can be achieved with calibration and tuning of the machine for the material being used. First, we will talk about speed differences, then in a soon-to-come additional post here we will detail quality differences.The calibration and tuning process is actually quite easy (though admittedly somewhat time consuming), but can mean being able to retain near…
