    Your Retraction Distance looks awfully long at 9mm. I say that because mine is 0.9mm and I do not suffer from travel lines. My retraction settings are

    With PLA I found 5.5mm for retraction distance to be fine but I changed it to 6.5mm for nGen material.

     

    I always print with Combing Off

    With direct extrude i did not suffer from travel line, but when i switch to bowden extrude then the travel line shows up. 

    I set the retraction value to 9 because when i do those retraction test which can be found on Thinginverse none of other numbers make a difference.

    If you mean the single diagonal lines, these are not scars but sort of "travel lines" (I don't know the official name), where the nozzle travels from one point to another without stopping extrusion. I guess the idea behind this is that this causes the least amount of pressure- and flow change in the nozzle, and thus the most stable temperature and extrusion? But I don't know if there is a setting where you could turn this on or off. I just consider it part of this specific production method. Like seam lines and ejection marks are part of the injection moulding process.

     

     

    I switch from direct extrude to Bowden setup and then the travel line show up. I also cut the teflon tube to minimize  the distance from motor to hot end but same result. Sometimes i hear click on extruder motor. My step/mm are at 100. And the calibration show that i am extruding the exactly 100mm. 

  3. How to remove scars from top and bottom of my print. I have try to reduce Extruder steps also change retraction distance to a higher value but no success. 
    Here is my print

    Material BLack Pla
    
    Layer Height--0.15
    Initial layer height --0.15
    Wall line Width 0.4
    
    Wall Thickness - 1
    Wall Line Count - 2
    Top Bottom Thickness - 0.8
    Top Layers 6
    Bottom Layers 6
    
    Infill - 10%
    Inital temp 215
    Temp 207
    
    Retraction Distance - 9mm
    Retraction Speed - 60mm/s
    
    Print Speed - 40
    Infill Speed - 100
    Travel Speed - 100
    Initial Layer Speed - 20.0
