Stringing and support collapse on Prusament PLA print

I spent some time plating up a print with all the parts arranged, and have already successfully done a test print with Galaxy Black PLA Prusament and absolutely none of these problems happened. I set this print up with brand new, newly-opened Prusament Noctua Beige PLA and this happened, so I’m stumped.

I'm using the 0.10mm FAST DETAIL Print settings and the Prusament PLA Filament setting, and have used the same nozzle that came on the pre-assembled COREONE L.

Any thoughts or help would be hugely appreciated.

RE:

The always boring question first: did you dry the filament? The fact that it was sealed does not mean it is dry.

Additionally ty to decrease the speed ( max volumetric speed) or bump the temperature by 5C, seems like the higher layers do not merge to each other.  Even if the material is the same, the pigment will change the overall material properties ( usually white and dark green are the hardest to print)

Thank you so much for your help, it hadn't occurred to me that vacuum-packed filament from Prusa might not be completely dry, I'll look into a dryer.

The HS settings have nozzle at 230 degrees – whereas the Prusament PLA profile suggests 215 – I'm aware that the bump is to allow for high-speed, but is it possibly too high?

230 for PLA may be a bit too high on slower printers, doing a small print tower would help ot to fine tune it.

Yup. That’s a common problem assuming filament fresh from the vacuum packed bag is printable. I’ve been burned by this enough that I always dry the filament in a dryer after opening.

This may be a contributing factor, the default prints speeds are way too fast. Try it with the structual, I have even slowed down those speeds too.
