Inside vertical wall defects, only one wall, possible causes?
I printed a lid for a small drill index I created. It's just a square box, with a few chamfers on the sides. 3mm wall thickness. Printed with Overture PETG using a 0.25mm brass nozzle. One of the interior vertical walls have little blobs and things sticking out. The junk interferes with using it as a lid, so I had to remove some of it. Why just one interior wall, out of 4, and perfect exterior walls? It's a beautiful print, besides that one wall. I'll package up the 3mf shortly. Here's the interior view. I put the part on it's side, to take advantage of the lighting.
Any suggestions would be most welcome. This is the cap that covers the stub machine drills.
RE: Inside vertical wall defects, only one wall, possible causes?
So first: Why are you using a 0.25 nozzle and a 0.15 layer on a box like this?
Second: Why are you stuffing the prints into the corner of the base instead of holding the parts around the center of the build plate?
Third: Why do you have such thick box walls, and with gyroid filling on top of that?
Recommendation: Use a 0.4 nozzle and a 0.2 SPEED layer. Cover wall thickness max 1.6 mm side perimeters 2. This will stop creating internal filling in the cover walls and the walls will be smooth. However, for the 0.4 nozzle it will be necessary to change the font size or select the "Bold" font style.

I have hollow (engraved) text at the bottom surface of the box. A coarse nozzle yields poor text. Already have experienced that.
I move individual prints around my build plate, all the time. That way I only treat the plate once, but I can make multiple prints before having to clean again. In my experience, it isn't necessary to always be at the center. Always printing at the center can cause premature wear at that spot.
No. A 0.4mm nozzle cannot print 2.5 or 3mm text with any fidelity. I can show you what it looks like. Yes it's faster, but the details are poor.
I am searching for why all the stuff ends up on the interior wall, pretty much only on one wall. It's clearly a setting in the 3mf and the filament that I have. Every version I have printed has it. I imported step files into PrusaSlicer, not stls. They should be clean. The slicer output looks clean, but there's debris on that inner wall that interferes with the fit of the cover. And it looks bad.
