It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with retraction settings, temperature fluctuations, or inconsistent filament feeding. Try adjusting retraction settings to reduce stringing, ensuring a stable and appropriate printing temperature, and checking for any obstructions in the filament path that may be causing irregular feeding. Making sure your printer is properly calibrated and your filament is of good quality can also help improve print quality. It's also a good idea to clean your printer nozzle regularly to prevent any clogs that could be causing the inconsistencies.

inland mirage is the filament dry?

I'm not sure

#

I think it is dry enough? Room isnt moist i think

#

so filament can absorb moisture, room doesn't have to be too humid.
this could filament which has absorbed some moisture, or the temperature settings need some tweaking

I am printing basic pla at 215c nozzle and 80c bed with full cooling

depends on brand and such, but that bed temp sounds way too high for PLA

#
