Looking for help diagnosing my Ender 5's sub-optimal prints

[humble heath]

Hello!
I'm in a bit of a strange situation where my prints are usually turning out nicely, but I see a ton of problems during the process. Infill is especially yucky. I looked at resources describing common problems, and nothing fit quite right. I'm hoping y'all can give me a quick diagnosis. I'm using pretty much default settings in Cura for my printer. https://i.gyazo.com/9ab08cf7620f3f652e8504032ec9cc95.png
I'm using Polymaker Polyterra PLA stored in one of those heated filament storage fellas.
The wad of spaghetti in front of the print head is a support that wasn't really needed anyway, but I figured it might be helpful in figuring out what's going on.
Thank you for your time!

Based on the image you shared, it appears that your print is suffering from under-extrusion, where the infill is not being properly filled in. Under-extrusion can be caused by several factors, so let's try to troubleshoot it:

1. Check your filament: Even though you mentioned storing it in a heated filament storage, make sure it is not tangled or experiencing any drag while coming off the spool. Try feeding the filament directly into the printer and see if it improves.

2. Nozzle clogging: Ensure that your nozzle is not partially clogged. Heat up your printer and manually push filament through to see if it flows smoothly. If it doesn't, you may need to clean or replace your nozzle.

3. Extruder tension: Verify that the tension on your filament feeder is properly adjusted. It should grip the filament firmly without damaging it. If the tension is too loose, it may cause under-extrusion.

4. Print temperature: Experiment with increasing or decreasing the print temperature slightly with...
