This is the temp tower of my wood print experiment Cand even se much difference. It goes from 260 to 190. Below 225 gets really flimsy and above 240 melts. But even 230, the “best” one is really bad, and I’m not talking about retraction. Even the layers that melt are inconsistent.

Also it’s not humidity since the filament was in a filament dryer for.16hours.

edit: The nozzle is 0.8

can someone think of anything else?

    Did you change the nozzle setting in your slicer to 0.8? They usually default to 0.4

    It definitely looks under extruded.

    This is how my wood PLA+ prints used to look too. Your extruder is almost 100% the issue. These filaments are spongy and don’t extrude well. Try toying with your extruder tension and if that fails get a BMG knockoff

    Looks like a partial clog and too fast at the same time. A .8 nozzle lets a lot of material flow, try slowing down after checking for a clog.

    Oh and are you skipping steps?
