This is layer 2 or 3. It will be covered by the next few layers but I feel like it shouldn't be this fugly. I'm using Cura's Standard Quality except for temp which is set to 205. The filament is Inland PLA.

Update: I wasn't able to fiddle with it for a few days but after getting back to it have something I like.

My current settings are based on the feedback in this thread and:

z-offset made the single biggest difference. I reset the printer config and re-leveled.
