For info. I'm mainly now using poly carbonate filament (PC) with this printer now and getting quite good results. I've tweaked settings quite a lot to get good strength and still have good detail on small features. I found the biggest improvement was to run the extruder fan full time, at 50%. I tho...

I believe I had encountered a similar issue when using wipe settings. Do you have a factory file ?
