Toby, the default setting are just there to get you in the ballpark and will always need tweaking. Even with the fff files ill post later, they may need some adjustment for your material and machine.

here are a few fff's for you guys. my temps are set for the v3b hot end. i have nothing worth while for pla. dale is the pla guy :)
no im using the v3b hot end. remember 260 is actually about 240 and im only doing that for one layer then its lowered a bit. i have never seen any problems with the peek. i have put a temp probe on my nozzle and confirmed my temp though to be sure its not over what i think it is. for the nylon i can get the setting right in creator but its a funny plastic to deal with. it will stick to the bed one time to the point i take pieces out of my garolite to get it off and the very next time it will curl so bad and pop right off. i try to do only small items with it. here is something i normally print with it.

Brian, the nose is shiny because of the reduced cooling time due to the smaller layers up there. I don't care about finish on this particular print because I am going to use it as a testbed to try priming/sanding.
jin, yes that is where they usually occur. almost always at the start of the line. in the fff's i posted above. use my abs profile and adjust the temps for pla and see if that does it for ya. those ooze control setting in that profile are a little more extreme. remember if your running a tad too hot it will add to the problem. you want the temp as low as you can get it while still getting good layer adhesion.

I've been able to get the ringing down by reducing the acceleration and perimeter print speed, still pretty fast for infill and support. I'm at a point where I can't get any better using that combination without upgrading the linear slide.
i agree, while my print was running i set the jerk all over the place and couldnt tell a difference

Jinok what you need to do is orint it again and take notice of where thats happening. Are the spaces being made at the end of the line or the beginning? If at the end then that the coast. Reduce it little by little until it goes away. If that is at the beginning of the line then its the neg restart distance and youll want to bring that back to 0.

Brian, it occurs to me that one should quantify the x and y axes separately, as they have very different characteristics. X axis is moving a lot less mass than Y. You could probably get away with higher accelerations in X.
jin, the zits are all just a matter of tuning your ooze controls. first turn coasting is on .2. turn that up to 1.4 maybe for a start point. same with retraction. print it and see what happens. give it like 20 layers and see if its still doing it. if so cancel and turn the coasting up to 2mm. try again. that should help but if its still there then turn your cost back down to 1.4 and the extra restart distance to -.02.... yes thats negative. dont go beyond -.02 on that. if its still there then slowly work the coasting up .02 at a time. over extrusion can lead to excessive zits as well. if your lines are printing too wide and overlapping each other too much then your extrusion multiplier needs to come down a little. take care of the zits first and see what the ringing looks like after those tweaks. you will always get some ringing like that from resonance on the bed during a change in direction. you wont get rid of it completely.
