For the second one you increased the temp made it slower and lowered the layer height. All of these changes allow Pla to get really hot and will increase Stringing.
To remove ghosting you normally just reduce the acceleration a bit. Reducing it to much can cause over extruding on direction changes. So try 2200mm/s.
Stringing you want to go colder, so to do this you normally reduce the temp.
If you reduce the layer height then the flow of the plastic is slower so you need to reduce the temp again. This also goes if you reduce the print speed.
Way too hot. You probably should be using less than 190c with 20mm/s and 0.05 layer, assuming you have no blockages or feed system problems - which should be fixed anyway rather than pushing up the temp.
Alright - I'm going to try another print at 0.15mm layers (just for speed) at 195 degrees, 30mm/s, and 2200mm/s acceleration. I'll post the results later.
Its normally best to only change one thing at a time otherwise you wont learn how each change is effecting your outcome. This can be tested with a small test piece.
Often getting started is the most difficult part of any process. A good start sets you up for success and saves you time and energy that could be spent elsewhere. That is why we have a onboarding course ready for
Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle, Ultimaker S5, Ultimaker S3 Ultimaker 2+ Connect.
They're ready for you on the Ultimaker Academy platform. All you need to do to gain access is to register your product to gain free access.
