I did the e step calibration which I had not done before & changed mine from 841 to 885. The calibration cube looks pretty good with 885 steps. That did not really fix this problem, but certainly should help in overall prints. Seems like the gap was off. I should have checked that again before posting this, but was good to get the reminder of doing the e step calibration. With the buildtak, I do have to use a little larger gap otherwise it will stick too much to the surface. I have not cleared the nozzle lately, but seems to be flowing pretty good thru the hotend.
