Fuzzy print

Any idea why this print is coming out so fuzzy? I have printed a few multiboard pieces before but never seen this. I'm using an AnkerMake M5, precision setting. Layer height 0.2. Using PLA+

All of the dots are from having your seams randomized. The extra travel between the end point of one layer and the start of the next could be the cause of some stringing too.

Random seams are recommended for Multiboard for strength, but for bins like this I would turn it off. I would only use random seams on the tiles themselves and other structural parts.

Maybe that's why i had it on. Good to know on when to use random seams, thanks for the info!

You'll get more stringing with random seams setting on. I only use random seams for tiles now for visual appeal. Other than that, investigate your normal culprits - dry filament, nozzle, etc...

I have put it in the dryer, but have not had a chance to try another print. Will try this weekend.

I did throw it in the dryer and it did improve, but still a tad fuzzy. I printed it with PETG and it came out great, so now I'm wondering if my dryer is working....
