So this is occurring now after getting all the e steps and line accuracy figured out. I am doing PLA at 200 with a gray bed of 60. I am trying to figure out what the bubbles are caused by.

Bubbles in your 3D prints can be caused by several factors. Here are a few potential causes and solutions:

  1. Moisture in the filament: PLA filament can absorb moisture from the air, leading to bubbles when it's heated during printing. To address this, you can dry your filament by placing it in a dehydrator or an airtight container with desiccant packets.

  2. Insufficient nozzle temperature: Bubbles can occur if the filament isn't heated to the appropriate temperature. Try increasing the nozzle temperature slightly to ensure proper melting and layer adhesion.

  3. Cooling issues: If the print cooling fan is too strong or positioned incorrectly, it can cause rapid cooling of the filament, resulting in bubbles. Adjust the fan speed or consider printing with a lower fan percentage to prevent rapid cooling.

  4. Inconsistent filament diameter: If the filament diameter isn't consistent, it can cause inconsistent extrusion, leading to bubbles. Ensure that your filament is of good quality a...
