If you could post a Cura project file (.3mf, get it set up in Cura then go to File > Save Project) that would help seeing if there's anything that could be improved in your settings.
Try looking at the end of the gcode file. Normally Cura puts the slicing settings there but I don't know if it would for towers generated by the plugin.
Here is a copy of the .3mf file that im currently having problems with. I can also load up any number of other parts that I've modeled that are having the same issue if that helps.
I will go ahead and fiddle around with the minimum layer time right now to see if i can get anything better.
I've also taken a look at the end of the gcode for the retract tower that printed perfectly and it seems to be using all the settings that I use for all my other prints as well which really confuses me because i NEVER get print quality that good on any parts I model myself. (end of gcode for retract tower pasted below)
