Blobs & zits
Small bumps or blemishes on the surface, usually where the nozzle starts or stops a perimeter.
Likely causes, most likely first
- Pressure built up in the nozzle at layer changes
- Retraction 'extra restart' adding material
- Seam placed on a visible face
Fixes to try
- Enable pressure/linear advance if your firmware supports it
- Enable coasting and wipe in the slicer
- Set the seam to a corner or 'hidden' alignment
- Reduce extra restart distance to zero
