The extrusion path inside a single layer is not one continuous trail, so the extruder sometimes needs to jump slightly to start a new path . When it does so, and the new path starts just to the side of the previous one, i get a slight buildup of material, creating a ridge a seen in the picture.

I use Cura as slicer. Apart from fiddling with coasting settings on a per model basis, with a lot of trial and error, is there as generic way to prevent this from happening?

Addisionally, I am using the Creality CR10S printer and since it has a large (somewhat heavy) moving bed, its inertia on the y-axis is much higher than along the x-axis. It seems to me that if I could at least ensure that these path-to-path jumps were x-offsets, the extruder could perhaps do them even faster, which might also mitigate the problem. I do not see any way to manually control that, though.
