it depends, I've seen bad first layers fuck up infill which then fuck up top layers. over all your parts look good, just a few small indicators of problems that could come from quite a few different areas.

if you are looking for a super uniform top layer, ironing is your best friend

I would actually say the area you circled is the most correct for top layer flow

Honestly, all of those photos appear to have slightly too high flow. This is typically why you get wavy patterns in different parts of your print.

Question: IDEX machine, but printing with just T0, PrusaSlicer 2.9.0 Is that going to be an issue with allow_unsupported_slicer_versions and bypass_post_processing?

Just checking in after test prints, this approach was much easier for tuning IDEX. Pretty much flawless

kk, those ratos-variables.cfg are from after step 8 of your instructions, while the printer.cfg data is from step 6. Should I rerun CALCULATE_DC_ENDSTOP again?

shouldn't the xoffset and yoffset be closer to 0? or are those fine now with the earlier printer.cfg changes?
