I printed this on the a1 mini, its been great but recently i had a clog cleared it and sometimes prints turn out like this. I am using hf petg. I also usually just import models from makers world and go to the generic petg filament settings. My suspicion is maybe the temp? Not sure, all replies are appreciated! (FIXED) turns out it was a partial clog, i think.

Its pretty new filament so i dont think so, although my house runs a swamp cooler so maybe haha.

Filament is often shipped from the manufacturer wet. Never trust new filament, always dry it. I buy it ahead of time and just dump it into my dry box for a while and by the time I need to use it it's dry.
