Change one setting at a time.
Retraction, temperature, flow, speed and cooling interact. Stacking several changes can hide the true cause. Duplicate a known-good profile and use a short test before keeping a new value.
Find the setting where it actually lives.
Choose the slicer, then follow the exact path for retraction, flow, pressure advance, supports, seams, cooling, speed and material behavior. Use the preview before exporting a long print.
