Retraction / Layering Troubleshooting

I have included pictures of a rose that I'm printing, one part was printed in ABS and one part was printed in T-Glase. At the start and end of each line there are small amounts of blobs that I am trying to correct. I have tried several different options to fix this but looking or outside advice.

The line that looks malformed is the optimized start point for each layer.

Re: Retraction / Layering Troubleshooting

Your print actually looks pretty good imo. However, if you'd like to prevent any oozing from the idle extruder, one suggestion I'd have is to create a skirt X layers tall. X being how tall your print is. I did this on a dual colored print, and as you can see the white extruder was able to ooze off its excess onto the black extruers skirt. This prevented the amount of blobs I had on my print for the print throughout.
