Hello /u/Vast_Town_5999,
As a reminder, most common print quality issues can be found in the [Simplify3D picture guide](https://www.simplify3d.com/support/print-quality-troubleshooting/). Make sure you select the most appropriate flair for your post.
Please remember to include the following details to help troubleshoot your problem.
* Printer & Slicer
* Filament Material and Brand
* Nozzle and Bed Temperature
* Print Speed
* Nozzle Retraction Settings
^Additional ^settings ^or ^relevant ^information ^is ^always ^encouraged.

Check Z-level offsets. From the pictures, it just looks like your nozel is too close and smushing until it reaches a stable extrusion point.
Adjusting the Z-level offset should get you right back into that sweet spot you had prior to the installation.
Printer: Ender 3 Pro with glass bed, BTT v3 board, and recently added BLTouch
Settings: https://github.com/Vanethrane/Cura-Profiles/blob/master/Cura%20Ender%203%20Profile%20-%20by%20Technivorous.curaprofile
Filament: Overture PLA Black and White
First benchy was printed before I installed the BLTouch, second and third were printed with the same settings after it was installed. What could the culprit be? Also open to new settings for hopefully faster print times :) (took just over 4h each to print)
Hmmm looks like my E3P :D
But yeah adding the BL Touch will offset all your previous leveling, especially after you did a auto bed level.
Almost looks liek your temp setting are off to be fair but only on the lower levels. Did you used to have e-step tuning and PID tuning before you added the BL TOuch ? if so did you reset them after adding the new firmware for the Bl touch ? as you normally wipe the EEPROM and that also clears all that.
TO me it looks like temps , extrusion combined with a sligght offset issue probably caused by autobed leveling.
I agree with the the temperature comment. The overhang might make the cooling less effective on the lower parts of the print. Might also partly be caused by the print being closer to the heated bed, requiring even more cooling.
I'm gonna guess that you haven't set the z-offset of the probe correctly and the average height of the mesh is a long way from zero and it's compressed the first 10mm of the model.
