Scars/Overextrusion/Moisture Issue

Hi,

Thus far I've been loving the features for simplify3d. I just switched over from Cura. On my prints I am having a consistent issue that I think may be linked to overextrusion or moisture in the material, but I am no expert so I can't be sure. I am getting some bubbles or scars and bad layer adhesion (parts keep separating in certain places) I've attached the settings I use. Any help would absolutely be appreciated. Cheers!

Bed temperature 60, extruder 205, fan off for first layer, on 100% for rest. 70mm/s extrusion and 100mm/s travel.

First thing I would do is cut the speed way down. 35-40mm/s and see how it does. Get your settings dialed in before speeding up.

I had a quick look at this thread earlier but didn't have time to post.....

I agree with whirlybird.....cut down the printing speed. You may be throwing far too much plastic through the hot end for the temperature to be maintained at a constant temperature. 0.6mm is a reasonably large nozzle size and the heater may not be able to keep up!
