The retraction issues are the most prevalent thing.

Have you tuned the retraction settings for your filament, print speed, cooling, etc?

Try printing two of the triangle pieces at the same time (or any other piece) so that it gives one piece time to cool, otherwise that top will never come out good because it is still soft. The same principle applies to the corners of that triangle. Slow down your print speed significantly for those thin structures or use multiples of your nozzle size. In Cura, using the Print infill after perimeter might help. The bridge will always come out funny underneath without support and the stringing can be adjusted once you figure out the retraction settings and Zlift.

For the walls, if it is shiny the temperature may be a bit too hot, so it is suggested you do a few test prints to record and profile that specific spool of filament to determine the best temp setting/feed rate/flow rate and prevent oozing. Also check your belts to ensure proper tension (I haven't found a specific guide but I set the carriages to the top and pluck the middle of the belt on the inside and outside of the aluminum extrusion and listen if the pitch matches) Any slack with make your layers lose uniformity.

MHackney has a default profile that you can import and see if that works. I use octoprint and slice with Cura, and when I imported his profile and printed his BandAid model, I see now what to look for in quality.
