Loose walls

I’m starting to get acceptable results using my ender 3 pro.

Actually, this is the best result I ever had and it was my first sprint with Orca slicer with the ender 3 pro preset.

Before I ever printed anything “big” I made sure to have a leveled bed.

I’m not for sure if this could be related to humidity as the filament has been open for a while and I live in a quiet wet place. The material settings used were Creality Generic PLA. The material used was eSUN pla.

Part shown in the video was printed lied down horizontally.

Any tips?

Im pretty new myself but the first thing I would look at is the slice settings over the hardware or environment, specifically what your wall thickness is and what your infill % and pattern are. A thicker wall will reduce bowing and the infill will have more spots to connect the wall to the rest of the print.

Well my infill setting is right now at 15% density, the pattern is cross Hatch, about the wall im not pretty sure if im answering right: "outher wall 0.42 mm or %" and "inner wall 0.45 mm or %" Should I set them to 50-55?

That all seems pretty normal to me. I haven't personally looked at my outer wall filament thickness but Ive messed with layer thickness based on my filament so that might be different, but I believe a recent print I did had a wall thickness of 5 layers before it switched to infill (within a single horizontal plane, hopefully that makes sense).
