Ender 3 V2 Colliding with printed layers

[noon00]

Hi,

I have just started printing miniatures on my stock Ender 3 V2. I have been trying to print this goose for the past couple of days and have had no success. Every time I print the model just after the legs are finished printing the nozzle starts to clip the top of the leg and make a small click sound and bend it as shown in the image. I am running 3DJake white ecoPLA 1.75mm with nozzle temp at 195-200 with the heated bed at a toasty 60 (temperatures are in Celsius). My print speed is set to 45 mm/s and I also have retraction enabled.

I believe it is because my printer is over extruding and making ridges of excess material, which the printer nozzle can collide with. Is this the correct assumption and how would I go about fixing it??

Also any tips and tricks to improving my prints overall would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for listening to my story.
