Can you please critique these prints?
This was my first print. Not good. I think I had bad retraction settings.

I turned off my retraction and printed this one. Much better, but not as good as I would like it to be. I am having some layering issues. You see how rough the edges are?

I redesigned this L bracket and printed it on it's side just to see how it would come out and it came out a lot better. I kept retraction off and got a lot stringing/ gunk build up. I think my travel speed is 150 here? Not sure. You can see that the edges are still a bit rough

This was my last attempt. I turned on retraction and set the retraction speed higher and kept the retraction distant very low. I also increased my travel speed to 160. The holes came out great! Much better than any other attempt, but the layering sucks. It's so rough.

One thing I have been trying to combat is that it appears that the machine to overlapping the infill with itself to much. Not the walls, but itself. Every time it infills a layer the finish is a a bit rough because it looks like the tip of the nozzle is plowing through the plastic some, which leaves these very fine raised areas. I tried changing the infill width, distance and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm going to mess with the flow some more to see if I can get better results.
Does anyone have any idea why the out faces are so rough like whats seen in the pics?
