Print creating issues when bed moves

Hi,

I have an Ender 5 Plus and it seems when the bed lowers to lay down filament to the next layer it creates what looks to be a "zit?" (I say with a question because Im not sure of the exact terminology) Now on the other side of this print it goes almost all the way up and down the one side. Attached I have a picture (from my webcam on the printer. Yes I know the rez is bad but this may give you an idea.) Now, I have went to the documentation provided on the site but I wasn't sure what setting could help fix this issue.

Re: Print creating issues when bed moves

It's not related to the bed moving, but the nozzle stopping at the end of the layer.
The process isn't perfect, and you'll always be able to see the end point. The effect of this can be minimized by experimenting with retraction settings, coast, wipe, and start point positioning. If the bump at the end point is minimal, setting the start point to random can do a pretty good job of hiding the end points by scattering them at random over the part rather than in a tidy line.
