Artifacts connected to vertical holes

Hi all-
I've noticed these artifacts adjacent to holes and perimeter direction changes.
They don't seem to have any effect on the finished pieces, but I'd appreciate any feedback.

These are parts for the Lack table enclosure and I'm using the .3mf downloaded from PRUSA.
I'm using PRUSA PETG and have corrected the .3mf filament settings for diameter and extrusion multiplier.
I do a first layer calibration and IPA wipedown before building the components.

Thanks for the help.

Hi, may you post a picture to visualize better the issue?

Thanks for the heads-up.
It didn't get attached to the original post.

That’s normal with rectilinear infill. Change the settings in the 3mf to use monotonic if it bothers you.

Thanks for the reply.
I'll keep that in mind for the future.
It was more of a curiosity than irritant and I'm certainly not going to interrupt a 23 hour build 6 hours in.

also consider that if that is not a top layer, you will not see it (the rest of the model will be printed upon it), and the other side will be "masked" by the textured sheet 😉

Thanks!
As I said, it's more curiosity than being bothered.
