Dry suspect filament first, then reduce nozzle temperature in small steps and tune retraction/travel with a controlled test rather than changing every setting at once.

Ordered repair sequence

Step 1

Compare with a known-dry spool or dry the filament using the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 2

Print a temperature tower or small stringing test.

Step 3

Lower temperature in 5°C steps while watching layer bonding and surface finish.

Step 4

Return to the printer manufacturer’s retraction baseline.

Step 5

Tune retraction distance in small increments, then tune speed.

Step 6

Enable travel avoidance/combing only when it does not create excessive detours or surface scars.

Step 7

If seams and corners also bulge, calibrate flow and pressure advance after basic stringing is controlled.
