Troubleshooting basics

Should I change several slicer settings at once?

No. Change one variable, run a small test, and record the result. Multiple simultaneous changes make it difficult to identify the actual fix.

What should I check before changing settings?

Start with the build plate, nozzle condition, filament path, filament condition, and any recent hardware or material change.
