Printing here with eSun PLA at 215 C on a Prusa Mini, and there are lots of hairline strings.

What's causing those strings? Temp too low?

Well I was saying it because the first layer looks very thin and the appears to be some parts on the infill on the left side that look like the nozzle rubbed the print

Hmm, interesting, thanks. The Prusa Mini has auto bed leveling so it's not that, but maybe I need to adjust the Z offset generally.

It's very hard for me to tell, even when wearing my good glasses...! So tiny... I did a Z test just the other day that looked and felt smooth, not too deep and not too high, gotta try again.

I could be wrong, I'd def look up what different print issues look like before taking my word from a single picture lol
