Strange separations of the filament on the print aka holes

 

I’m seeing this issue on all prints and in several materials  I believe it may be an issue with the extruded but not sure. All parts come out looking like this to come degree. The imagine should allow for zooming enough to see mushroom headed severed ends in the affected areas.

Ideas?

Other than those gaps the print looks fantastic.  I don't know if this is a fix, but you can check your calibration and see what's going on.  There is a good tutorial here:

That'll walk you through it.

I've seen it mentioned to check your retractions for that kind of surface flaw. No expertise in it myself, but it's something to look at.

For sure! Looks great otherwise, but the holes are very bad in places.

I'll give this a shot. Thanks!

I'm at the default retraction of 3.2mm. Would you try more or less?

Change the retraction from default 3.2mm to 2.0mm... it should works for prusa mini.

Thank you @radianrad for posting your results.

And thanks @sandysasmita for providing the solution. I had followed your postings in Reddit for this as well: Weird holes peppered throughout print
