3DBenchy's bow prints out of alignment
$begingroup$
I'm new to 3D printing, but I've solved all of my problems except for this rough surface shown in the image of a Benchy print:
Any suggestions are appreciated.
- Printer (new): Raptor 2 (400x400x700 mm)
- Bed Temp: 65 °C
- Extruder Temp: 210 °C
- Filament: PLA (1.75 mm) right out of the package (came with printer from
Formbot)

If you printed Benchy upright, this is an overhang. You didn't state the print speed that you used, but I found that I can improve overhang quality considerably by printing them slower.
If you're otherwise satisfied with the print quality, you probably don't want to waste time by printing the whole model slower. If you're using Ultimaker Cura there is a setting in the Experimental section (don't worry, it works fine) to print only overhangs slower:
(Those are very conservative settings, a larger angle, like 30°, would probably be fine, too.)

You print too hot and probably with not enough cooling. These typical defects are caused by too much heat input into your model. You see this best at the overhang of the bow of Benchy, it should be smooth like the bottom part of the side of your Benchy. It clearly shows heat induced defects. Lower the temperature at least 10 °C. Know that PLA usually is printable at about 190 °C, also 65 °C for the hotbed is quite high, Depending on the surface you could aim for a temperature between 50 - 60 °C,

The artifact your bow clearly shows is usually a result of very high print temperature - the filament sags unevenly as it is not cooling to solidification fast enough.
You might want to reduce your print temperature for PLA a little. Try one or two 5° steps. I print my PLA usually at 200 °C, some blends even lower. Do the same for the print bed - 60 °C is the usual temperature in many machines.
When I unpack 210 °C that's only in conjunction with 100 % infill and deliberate over-extrusion for what would be best described as a "cast-solid" result. It's because under that condition I want the filament to melt and merge with everything super tight.
It also might help to change the print cooling geometry to better cool the printed parts.
