I appreciate your help but this feels like a lost cause. I tried printing the exact final file I posted and it is doing the exact same thing as before even though the file "looks much better'. I guess both of my printers are now failing me because we have tried everything else. RIP. Maybe I should save up for a lulzbot. Thanks.

I believe you but I promise on my end it was showing the "enable ironing" unchecked! I made sure of that multiple times. You are correct though when I just did click on it and check it on, it showed "iron only highest layer" was unchecked. I included the correct .3mf file you are talking about. I checked and unchecked it and did another print and I am still facing the same issue. new test.3mf

I just used the standard setting for esun pla+ on cura which requires a minimum temperature of 205. I only changed the layer height to .2, the temperature up because of my all metal nozzle and my retraction settings for the direct drive. I never enabled ironing. You are correct with the poor finish on layer 0 but once again I never used to have that problem. These standard settings used to work fine for my printers besides the standard retraction settings. I do not understand. I tried your gcode and it does not produce the rubbing on every second layer but that gcode is wild and definitely does not work properly for my printers. That is an interesting start gcode though; I have never seen that loop along the side. I attached the .3mf , thanks. Also, I chose the chip bag clip because it shows and obvious example of my issues. I will continue using simplify 3d unless I can figure this issue out. CE5_Chip_Bag_Clip_V7_Small.3mf

CE5_Chip_Bag_Clip_V7_Small.gcodeI have attached a simple gcode that I took a video of. I also linked to the URL of that video I put on youtube just for your help, thank you! As you can see, the nozzle is rubbing the first layer and it creates a rough texture. The extruder gears are also not functioning like they should be. The nozzle oddly starts dripping later on right before it finally goes on to the 3rd layer. This only happens with cura. I even upgraded my ender 5 pro standard extruder and hotend to the microswiss extruder and hotend with a new stepper and the same thing is happening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0abXhhXfw8M

I think I may have bad extruder stepper motors because this is very recent and out of nowhere. That is what make sense to me. I have ordered replacements that will arrive friday. I think maybe cura reacts differently than simplify 3D and prusa to these bad motors. I will let you know if that fixes the issue. I will post gcode from cura and simplify 3d and pictures if this does not solve the problem. I appreciate both of your help. Hopefully I am right.

I cannot figure this out. The gcode looked normal from what I could tell. I do not have this problem with simplify 3d or prusa but cura has tree supports and gyroid which I really enjoy! This sucks. I seem to be the only person with this exact problem. I am using two ender 5 pros.

I will look at the gcode with gcode analyzer.

I am having this serious problem I cannot figure out. My nozzle is scratching my print every second layer and nothing extrudes during every second layer either, even if I raise the babystep z up so the nozzle is far from the print. This issue has forced me to buy simplify 3d. I am two days into my subscription. I can get a refund within the two week money back period. It is not my two printers because I do not have this problem with any other slicer. I have done everything I can think of. I even totally deleted and redownloaded cura several times, new and old versions. Remember, I said it is not extruding either even when I raise the z axis so there is plenty of room for extrusion. I do not have clogs because nothing extrudes. I am totally unable to use cura because of this and cura is my favorite. Please help.
