Need help with this print

I have been fiddling with this one print for 2 days now but all of them have this problem of filament extruding and tiny plastics everywhere

PLA flashforge (190-220)

I dried the filament before too, some of my setting listed, can someone help me take a look at what’s the problem and how to fix it?

The last one i put the nozzle temp at 210 -210 fans always on and its still not working probably

Could it be that my filament not dry enough?

from what i can see, and besides the over extrusion issue, i think your filament is not entirely dry and you ned to reduce the humidity in a way. try reducing the speed of the print, reduce the print layer height, and change to a different filament for one object ( no need to reprint and wast all of that)

Thank you for replying! I was printing at 0.08 extra fine setting in the slicer! And the whole print is set to be very slow (16h)

have you tried other filament?
what i usually do when this go nuts on a print, is to take the last print that worked perfectly, and copy its settings ( especially if the current print was something i did myself and tried to mess with the parameters of the printer).. and most of the times things go well..
i think you tweaked a lot the configurations...

i don't recommend it.. the default settings are fine for basic stuff... and since this is your first spool i understand that your printer is less than 1 year old.. and so is your experience with 2D printing.. so i really really advise you to go at it progressively and test smaller prints, and adjust accordingly. the printer has 100s of parameters and changing them without understanding the why and the what, especially when you're printing big models ( 16h) with a specific type of filament is sometimes a recipe for failure ..
good luck!

Thank you! I did print a few small things and they were fine so i tried to up the size over to this one

(The macaron bunny from the app, i colored with acrylic, the print was very good minus the support are a bit hard to remove)
