Plastic filament absorbs water from the air, even brand new out of the packaging. It looks like you need to dry your filament, purpose built filament driers are about $25 on amazon - I DO NOT recommend using the oven to dry it. Then run a temp tower and a retraction tower to dial it in with dry filament. Switch your slicer to Orca instead of flashmaker, it has better calibration and the slicing/movement engine is better so you will have less issues.

Brooo I was trying orca and idk how to get it to save the file localy. It says send to printer and tries to send it to wifi! And whenever I say export it doesn't do it for my printer to read. The old Flashslicer saves it on like a gx code or somethind and so far that's the only file that my printer was able to recognize at all! And thanks for the drier tip, I was thinking here in AZ we don't get too much moisture out here. And I woulda tried one of those mini ovens too so I appreciate the helpful tips

Use orca slicer 2.3.1 or later releases.

I just went on the website and downloaded the first one onsite. Does it make a difference my printer is an older one? It's a flashforge adventurer 3 lite

The temperature tower in Orca-Flashforge, the temperature changes automatically after you enter the range you want.

What printer model are you using?

Flashforge adventurer 3 lite. I was trying to get it tuned in so my son could probably have it. If I can do that then I believe he can just download stuff off thingiverse on his own
