Sloppy bulges on side of planter

 

Looking to understand why extra material is bulging out of the side of my planter. It happens at the transition zone as the bottom of the planter turns to the vertical wall. I believe it is an over extrusion issue. You can see on the 4th picture that it is only happening on one side of the planter. Any tips for solving this issue? The rest of the prints come out beautifully and I'd really like to clear this up. 

I should also note that this version has a fillet, but the issue occurs on other prints without the fillet. 

Settings at the final pictures.

It's hard to tell from the pictures:

Please save your project as a .3mf file

Files > Save Project as

Zip the .3mf and post it here. It will contain both your part and your settings for us to diagnose.

Cheerio,

It happens at the transition zone as the bottom of the planter turns to the vertical wall.

That sounds like the infamous "bulge" issue.

This is a well-known phenomenon, with more than 20 pages of discussion in this forum.

TL;DR: Many suggestions, no universally applicable solution.

To quote @bobstro:

Happily, this was described as a “buldge” in an early post and that misspelling has made the problem very easy to search for. There are several threads you might want to look through:

Looks like warping. Your print doesn't stick flat to the bed. But the edges lift up.

You can try to clean your bed to make it stick more or use the brim option of the slicer.
