So I’m new to the 3d printer community and I think I’ve hit a road barrier need some advice, attached is a few examples of my current prints in petg I’m printing at 240 and 60 with a .5 mm nozzle on a b3 picco extruder, someone point me in the direction to making my prints a little bit more production ready. I can give any other details you want… I’m sorry if this may have been covered previously bit the emnse info on this seems to leave me confused and distracted

Looks to me like nozzle drag, in some areas looks like maybe too much heat. With a 0.5 mm nozzle your maximum layer height should be about 0.25 mm (1/2 your nozzle size) for my finer prints I use a 0.2mm nozzle and .1 layer height. What looks like too much heat could be cause but layer height. Also if crossing over the part make sure your z axis lifts (can’t remember what the technical name is) between moves other wise you drag the nozzle across your print.
