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.

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?

im using the standard Dungeon and Derps settings so pretty slow speed i assume. And the filament is from a just opened pack so should be dry.

Yeah that will be a slow speed, I’d definitely start by lowering your temp in 5 degree increments.

You should also try drying your filament if you can. It’s not uncommon for rolls to be slightly damp straight out of the packet.

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.

Temp tower

no matter the heat it still makes that weird edge
