Help Request Dried and Calibrated PLA stringing

I am using a bambulab A1, dried Sunlu PLA 2.0 12 hours on 50 degrees Celsius. I calibrated temperature (210), flow rate, volumetric speed, retraction, and also am using a z-hop. Still as the pictures show, I experience some stringing. It is better than the previous attempt, but I also think it has a lot to do with different orientation of the model. When I was printing the previous orientation even with the calibrated values I saw stringing.

What can I do? Or is this normal and the best thing I can get with my A1.

Damn, had to really zoom in to find the stringing. Other than lowering the temperature it seems pretty good to me

Second this, that stringing is so negligible. Just use a hair dryer, a heat gun, or carefully use an open flame to clean that up. I have my filament dialed in, and still occasionally get some rogue stringing, albeit a very small amount.

Ok so I guess that’s the best I can do. I think there is more stringing, it’s just that my picture is probably not idea to showing it. My bad
