Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Hello all. I am having issues with printing a clamp in both PLA & ABS. There is globs of material in same area of both prints. I am using Matter Control software with MatterSlice slicer configured. I was thinking I should try another slicer, but interested in more experienced opinions (I am a rookie).

White PLA printed at 210, retraction 4.5mm length on move
Black ABS printed at 245, retraction 6mm length on move

Any other suggestions on improving prints welcome

Looks like a poorly tuned restart length, or else the retract speed should be tuned. Likely lower, as you're likely using an E3D-esque hotend, where to avoid jamming, the maximum length should be 2mm or less, and the speeds rather low. I would also make sure that your wipe settings are adjusted a little, and that you don't have a longer restart distance than your retract

@Xenocrates thank you. Gives me something to work with. I also should mention I am printing with Rostock max v3 kit with supplied hot end.

Any suggestions on current settings? Any help appreciated

I'd turn the retract length down to 2mm or so, and play with retract speeds down around 10-25mm/s
