For the past week or so I have on and off noticed these little blobs on the back right hand corner of the last print on the plate. I'm guessing it's around where the print is finishing. Any suggestions on how to fix this before I spend hours troubleshooting? Filament has been dried and calibrated.

I live in NSW Australia so we are mid way through Autumn. Around mid-late march we had a cold snap and have had much colder temperatures than usual since. My place is quite shaded, so while the outside temperatures are still hitting 23-27°C, it's only reaching maybe 20°C inside my place and getting down to 8-10°C at night (I don't use a heater as it's useless where they installed it). Even had frost a couple of mornings.
80% of my colonies have barely foraged since the end of March, are now very sluggish and a lot of the colonies still have a brood at varying stages. I'm concerned that because it got cold so fast they didn't get to properly prepare for winter and it won't warm up again for another 4-5 months. Also outdoor ants are still getting the benefit of the sun warming the soil etc during the day, which my ants are not. All my ants are native species and most can be found in my local area.
So should I provide them with a bit of heat for a bit to allow them to get sorted or just let them be?
Species are:
- Rhytipodonera metallica
- Myrmecia pyriformis
- Myrmecia SP17
- Iridomyrmex bicknelli
- Iridomyrmex purpureus
- Camponotus novaehollandiae
- Pheidole sp
- Nylanderia rosea
- Opisthopsis rufithorax
Just in case anyone has any species specific advice.
Thank you!
