Bubbles in your 3D prints can be caused by a few different factors. One possibility is that there could be moisture in the filament, which can create steam bubbles as it heats up during printing. To rule out this issue, you can try drying the filament in a dedicated filament dryer or using an oven at a low temperature for an hour or two.

Another possible cause could be issues with the hotend, such as a partially clogged nozzle or inconsistent temperature. Even though you mentioned that there is no clog, it's still worth checking if there is any debris or residue blocking the nozzle. Additionally, make sure that the temperature settings are accurate and consistent during the print.

The popping sounds you mentioned could indicate that the filament is being extruded unevenly or inconsistently. This could be caused by a few things, including a partially clogged nozzle or an issue with the extruder motor. It is recommended to double-check the extrusion settings and consider cleaning or...

I just ordered a filament dryer, hopefully that works

Depending on the dryer you might have to leave the lid open a crack to let the moist air escspe

I have also had this problem. Changing the retraction to .3 mm helped
