· Bottom Skin of Print is having extrusion issues
Hi @Hpod, you may want to print breakaway support (same material support) with a Z clearance of 1 layer, but the resulting surface will still be rough (and the support will be hard to remove). If you'd like to achieve a bottom surface which is as smooth as the top surface in your pictures, you'll have to print with soluble support (such as PVA).
Another possibility might be to design a cilinder (again, with a Z clearance of 1 layer) below the central hole to support it (i.e. designed support), changing your overhang to a bridge, but the surface will still be quite rough and the dimensions of the smaller holes won't be exact. Again, the best result would be to print this part with soluble support.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications

Hope this helps.
