Layer seems on the Mini

Has anyone come up with some retraction settings that can improve the layer seams on curved surfaces? The changes I'm making don't seem to make any difference at all. Yes I do have retraction on layer change turned on.

I think my biggest problem is that I’ve been spoiled by the MK3S. The Mini is never going to match it. The cantilever design combined with the bowden extruder limits it. The bowden extruder creates issues with retraction. There may be a magic formula but even Prusa hasn’t discovered it yet. Notice that the retraction settings for all of their profiles appear to be the same. I think those are essentially optimized for the ultra detail profiles. I’d love to use those bu they turn a 10 hour print of items for our Etsy store into a 3+ day print. I guess I could do that if I bought s farm of printers. Maybe thats the point from Prusa’s view.  Then the cantilever design starts to become an issue when you want to push the print speed. I’m seeing the left end of the x axis shake while printing even at their default 0.2 speed settings. It’s causing the perimeter surface on objects on the left side of the bed to be worse than on copies of the same object on the tight side. I may have to give up on using it for my Etsy items.
