Idk about Cura (I use PrusaSlicer), it might be doing those dots though. Another thing to check is too see if you can lower your retract length. Highretract lengths can exacerbate seams and zits and stuff sometimes. You also might want to try a PID tuning and a general machine resquaring, as the layers are a little inconsistent, but those are kind of nitpicky. Other than those zits, looks good
This looks like the Cura 4.7 bug, if you are using 4.7 try reinstalling 4.6 and printing again. Here is the github bug report for it: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/8321
Just woke up to the 4.6 benchy, turned out much better than the 4.7! Thank you for your help!
Wow! I never would have guessed that this could be a slicer issue, thanks for your comment, I’ll get another bench up and running :)
can confirm, had exact same issues on new ender 5 printer. Tried every setting i could find to no avail. Downgraded to 4.6 and it fixed it
