I don't even know where to start. insanely bad quality.
So yeah... I've had a bad time with this. First I thought it was other filaments. Now I see I am having the issues with all of them.
I keep running calibration tests. EM seems to be on point. PA has been set to death using both pattern and tower method. Pretty similar results. Speeds are pretty conservative for a Ratrig. Profile, for now I am using stock to try and root out any issues.
I have run the SHAPER_CALIBRATE command.
I need a cooler head to prevail. Hoping someone can guide me to the right path.

Why did you start a new thread? Anyways... Let's get to some basics... For the photos shown - Material? Nozzle size? Temp? Cooling? Speed? I suggest turning off PA and input shaping for now (to remove them as variables).
I didn't want to contaminate the old thread or any new insights. There was already quite a bit going on in that thread.
Regarding current situation, this is PLA, tested between 180 and 230 with no significant changes. 0.4mm nozzle (CHT). Cooling goes from 0 to 100% in the first 4 layers.
How do I turn of PA and IS?
Set PA=0, comment out input shaper related lines in your config
You mean delete this portion?
Is this standard PLA or PLA+? And, could you send another photo of you hot-end assembly... I have some doubts that your fan ducts are able to get cooling where it is needed - not uncommon issue with large heat blocks
Standard PLA.
Correct
The way those corners seem to be lifting suggests to me that you need more cooling, and possibly more heat as well... What speeds are you at?
One thing to try is slowing down - both speed and accel - allow more time for those ducts to do their part
Pick a temp, say 195, set cooling to max, print a cube & cylinder, 20% rectilinear infill... Try it at 40mm/s - extreme, yes, but can't be afraid to experiment
Speeds are conservatively set for now.
Also, how amenable would you be to ditching the mosquito?
And the acceleration is well under the usuall values.
I am amenable, but since this is a company printer, I'd rather not if at all possible.
