    After installing my oiler I have a new problem and that is artifacts showing up. I am using avocado oil. Just a tad and there are no problems with adhesion. But these artifacts are a real problem, they cause the print head to jump and shift my x and y axis now on large prints. This sample was printed with an offset of 1.1. PLA material. Any help appreciated.

    Well, whatever that is, I can't see it being related to the oiler.
    Might be a touch of over extrusion with filament wanting to build up around the nozzle then come off...
    Sorry, can't say from just that picture.

    I was thinking either extrusion or offset. Not sure how much to try changing it. Should I try 98% on multiplier? It is easy to print these circles.

    Sure, experiment with it to see if you can get a positive change.

    Ok I tried this at 98% extrusion then 95% then 90% and then 80%. The print quality got worse every time but I still get the artifacts.

    The top is 80% and the bottom is 90% extrusion
