Doesn't happen with a black filament I have from creality (I've printed way more from that black spool) This is Polyterra Muted Blue PLA, running on default settings with 200/50 temps on an Ender 3 V2.

#

I dried it a while ago down to a reported 17% (give or take) humidity in a dryer I purchased. Ran for some 16 hours

#

And stuck it in a sealed bag (that it came in) with a dessicant packet that it also came with, only came out when it was time to use it

#

I am printing on a pei sheet

could also happen if you are too close

Adhesion sucks sometimes too

#

I'm pretty sure it's fine but I'll double check it

#

Some previous prints had popping while printing and small holes in the final print

Resolved to a slightly higher temperature and leaving it in a dryer for 100% of the time it is printing and allowing it to feed out of it

#

Finally some cleaner prints

Weirdly with that filament my dryer won't go under a reported 17% humidity meanwhile I hit 9% on a new filament from the same brand
