So I have been printing with ABS for a while now and just started with PLA and my prints turn out like this.. I did some online search and found what I need to change but don't fully understand it so that's why I'm reaching out on here for help.
Current settings:
- Current Settings
2mm Print:
- 3mm Print
3mm Print:
- 2mm Print

Try increasing your XY Axis Movement Speed on the Other tab. You may also want to add a small negative extra restart distance to your retraction settings (for example -0.1mm).
FYI - there's more suggestions here:

Thank you, I'll give it a shot right now. I changed the value to -0.1 and increased the outer speed from 70% to 80%.

I did what you suggested and still have issues, I ended up removing the complete FFF file and installed it again with better results but still have issues.
