I've tried printing Benchy three times, each one terrible. Before benchy, I've done many simpler prints with mixed results.

I'm using a Qidi X-Pro with 1.75mm GEEETECH PLA. I'm using Qidi Print for the slicer. I've had the printer for about two weeks.

I've tried:

(all prints .2mm layer height, bed leveled before each print, no prime towers or ooze shields-- trying to avoid using these if possible)

1.
200C & 60C bed
15% infill/zigzag
50mm/s print speed, 80mm/s travel speed,
3mm&30mm/s retraction, retract at layer change
.1mm^3 coasting,
100% extrusion,
0mm z offset, no travel prime
no z hop

2.
210C & 50C bed
15% infill/zigzag
50mm/s print speed, 100mm/s travel speed
5mm&35mm/s retraction, retract at layer change
.1mm^3 coasting
100% extrusion
0mm z offset, no travel prime
no z hop

3.
195C & 60C bed
20% infill/zigzag
50mm/s print speed, 80mm/s travel speed
3mm&30mm/s retraction, retract at layer change
.1mm^3 coasting
90% extrusion
0mm z offset, no travel prime
1mm z hop, z hop when retracted, z hop after extruder switch

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking a look!
