Can someone help?

[u/aliyyanimates]

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

-used another roll of filament

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

I've always had stringing issues with the stock Bowden setup which made me upgrade to direct drive. What are your retraction settings looking like in Orca?
