This is layer 2 or 3. It will be covered by the next few layers but I feel like it shouldn’t be this fugly. I’m using Cura’s Standard Quality except for temp which is set to 205. The filament is Inland PLA.

i dont see an image?
what type of Inland PLA, silk generally requires higher temps but some of the more standard ones print well at 180-190.
Weird. I couldn’t post the original pic but a screenshot of it seems to work.
The spool doesn’t say “silk” but the sticker does say print temp 215-230: https://www.amazon.com/Inland-1-75mm-White-Printer-Filament/dp/B084RDMG7C/ I’ll give that a shot & see if it looks any better.

I would suggest running the PLA temp tower and then you can optimize for that specific reel of filament.
I printed a tower a few days ago and it looks good anywhere from 200 to 215. I’m going to keep trying though.
You should also check your z offset and make sure that you’re not too close to the bed it’s possible that your nozzle is dragging because you’re less than .2 mm.
Does that top surface feel ridged? To me this looks more like an issue with either overextrusion or z offset too low than temperature.
I second z offset. Weird that this happens only at a certain regular “column”. Could be hiding an underextruded strand on the level below. In that case your temp might not be stable.
Too low (nozzle height)
I second running a temp tower. Your first layer may be a little too low, but you’re probably over extruding since it looks like your lower layers aren’t as wavy.
z offset / nozzle height seems to be the thing. I’ve raised it up and it looks better. After that I played with the temp a bit and it seems to be happier around 210-215 though there is more stringing.
So far, all attempts at ironing have been a disaster, both zig zag and concentric. I’m going to continue dialing in the z offset and temp before ironing.
Looks a little hoth to me.
