Makergear M2 seam lines / zits

Anyone have the magic setting for the M2 to help me fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. Various retract settings, no retract at all, various coasting settings, wipe, printing in side out, out side in, etc. Nothing seems to make much of a difference. Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks!

Well if you tried all those things and saw no difference, then you're definitely doing something wrong! That link contains pretty much all the options there are, and I have the same printer. They definitely have a large impact.

So either you weren't enabling them properly or you weren't using large enough values. I'd recommend going back to those suggestions and repeating each one with larger values until you clearly see the impact of each setting. Each one can have a big effect.

Dont forget that the higher the moisture lvl in your filament the more uncontrollable the blobs and seams will be. If your filament is damp, no matter what you make your settings you will always have a blob at the start of your extrusion.
