Perhaps you need to run some of the tests? There are various speed, heat and overhang type tests built into the slicer.I've started to get some stringyness with PLA

It was the previous part too, that was at standard speed. These two I changed to fast speed, at the quite visible line. Any ideas?
Two options in my limited experience. Retraction and Damp filament.I've started to get some stringyness with PLA

When I say damp you will not know if it is or not until you dry that roll.
My white eco pla always has problems. So much so if I leave it in the AMS overnight it snaps.
It's inside a cupboard as well.
I still can't get my head round why damp filament snaps but dry stuff doesn't. It's back to front to my brain and logic. Lol

Make sure it's dry!
The snap, crackle and pop can be quite something when printing in PVA.

Appears the stringyness might be related to my printing of PET. It appears the automatic filament change at 250c is not hot enough to flush all of it out, so seems I should run some.petg or ABS through before swapping to pla. Abs has a similar temperature.
Interesting. Not heard that before. Lots of people use PLA for support blockers and vice versa.
