quality differences between i3 and mini

on my i3 and mini im printing the same files and I'm getting inconsistent quality. in the first pic, the white H is my i3 and the black H is the mini, my i3 isn't filling in all the corners and the top is bumpy. on my mini the entire surface is filled in, its still bumpy on top but a lot less so. in the 2nd pic the red is on the i3 and the green is on the mini. I'm not sure whats causing it.

both printers have had issues with adhesion, I've done the benchy Z calibration and its good. both are running the default profile with some edits to support settings

There are no pictures! And also upload the 3mf-file/s, the easiest way to get help,

RE: quality differences between i3 and mini

You should not be printing the same gcode file for the mini and I3.  You will need to target a different printer in the slicer and reslice the model once for each printer.  If you are having adhesion problems, please post pictures of the bottom layer with your pictures.  Also, a picture of the model on the bed - very often adhesion problems are a combination of finger print oil (bed not clean) and z height being off.
