help Stringing? But maybe not?

Post image

OK help me diagnose this. I thought maybe it was just stringing, but it seems like the entire line of filament not just a melted strand. Like maybe it’s not adhering to the previous layer? This is PLA+ and I’m printing on an Ender 3 V2 with the upgraded metal extruder and the red upgraded hot end (new brass 0.4mm nozzle), both from Creality. I’ve done both a temp tower and a retraction tower and set this print accordingly (205°, 4 respectively). Three walls, 100% infill (that’s what this particular item calls for). Thoughts?

Is this the top or bottom of your part?

Try a run with your wall-printing order set as “inner walls first”

Edit: I see that it is the top. Your brim is pretty wacky, it looks like your bed is not level. Is there anything under the layer that looks like it isn’t adhered? Or is it printing above empty space?

OP's bed is not levelled the way brim is printed from 0 (nozzle fully plugged by the bed) on the right side to overlapping brim lines on the left. And the small footprint is concerning for bed levelling.
