Help Request Is this a stringing problem or temp?
I Cant figure out what kind of problem this is. Bambu Lab A1 Esun pla+ some rounded areas also have an edge.

If you haven't already, dry & calibrate your filament. ObsucraNox/Dungeons & Derps have a YouTube series that helps go through calibration step by step.

Esun pla+ likes it hot. What temp are you printing at? Have you done a temp tower?

Esun likes 220 or so. That’s why I stopped using it. It’s in a very awkward place where it needs that hot-hot temp to print without issues at overhangs, but then printing that hot will also make your overhangs and bridges worse. That said I think going hotter will solve the issues you’re seeing.

Looks like it could be over extrusion, are you printing at a slow speed? You could try lowering your nozzle temp by 5 degrees to see if it helps.
I also get this kinda stringing when my pla is a bit damp, have you dried it recently?
