Tips on Finish

I have a MK3s printing with Hatchbox Blue Silk PLA, 210 temp in these images, 80% speed. I am getting these artifacts, I suppose you could call them, this is only on this side of the part, which is almost on the center of the plate I am pretty sure this is just Gyroid infill spilling out, but I wanted to know if anyone had any tips.

One guess is that you might try reducing your Extrusion Multiplier a point or two to reduce the probability of excess material trying to escape.

If you think it's infill "showing through" then try increasing the number of perimeters.

Do those blobs show up only on the side closest to, or only on the side furthest away from your print fan? If so, maybe try either increasing or decreasing the print fan speed.

Those are layer seams. Play with the seam alignment setting; they're hard to hide on round surfaces so align may be your best bet, but on items with hard corners slic3r does a decent job of hiding them in the corner.

Thanks for the reply, its is hard to say as these appear on the outside and the inside of the print. for an idea, if this was flat on a surface I get these at the 11-1 o'clock positions and noting on the rest of the print. The area with the marks would be almost dead center of the print bed.

Thanks for the suggestion, I had it on the standard "Nearest" setting, and I have some more angular prints that I have done and I havent noticed the same so I am sure you are correct, I will try align on my next curvy print.
