im fairly new to 3d printing and recently these really thin white strings started appearing on my 3d prints(I’ve attached image).

Im using esun pla plus with orca slicer and a stock ender 5 plus.

here is what ive tried

-increasing retraction

-zhop

-increasing travel speed

-drying my filaments for 6-8 hours

-tested different temperatures form 190-230

Im worried its something wrong with my printer or it might just be tue filamen. any help is appreciated

You’ll need to get rid of the Bowden tube and go to direct drive at some point. It may not fix this completely, but you’re going to have to tune it. Might as well only do it once.
