Printing here with eSun PLA at 215 C on a Prusa Mini, and there are lots of hairline strings.

What’s causing those strings? Temp too low?

    Based on the layers of his print I’d say he also needs to level his bed

      I guess you refer to the right part of the base, right? What you’re seeing is actually a sort of staircase with shadows, because that right-hand part of the print is angled a few degrees up. So it only looks bad in this lighting, but it’s fine.

      See the left side of the base, that’s really flat and is fine.

        Well I was saying it because the first layer looks very thin and the appears to be some parts on the infill on the left side that look like the nozzle rubbed the print

          Hmm, interesting, thanks. The Prusa Mini has auto bed leveling so it’s not that, but maybe I need to adjust the Z offset generally.

          It’s very hard for me to tell, even when wearing my good glasses…! So tiny… I did a Z test just the other day that looked and felt smooth, not too deep and not too high, gotta try again.

            I could be wrong, I’d def look up what different print issues look like before taking my word from a single picture lol
