What is Happening here?

What am I looking at here? Using TTYT 3D Silk PLA printing the drippy part of the Drippy Bucket. I’m new to this 3D printing and have had my share of weird fails, but this is new to me. Problem is I have no idea where to start looking for how to correct it as I don’t even know what went sideways with this print.

Because you didn't shared much information (how old is printer, did you print successfully before, did you tried another filament, what print settings are used, etc.), just a hint where to look at... Three parts are responsible for proper filament melting: print head (hotend), extruder and filament itself.

I've printed a LOT of TTY3D Silk PLA (I love this stuff!). My only change from the generic  PLA profile is I upped the temps to 225 first layer and 220 everything else. I've tried many colors, including their beautiful multi-color filament, and usually it prints like butter. 

As Bogdan said, without the 3MF project file that gives us all your setting details, not much to go on here. From the initial looks, I'd guess some underextrusion somewhere (maybe a partial clog). I'd try a couple of cold pulls, then setting the temperature to 220. Maybe loosen the idler screw a tad.

As @BoddanH said - I suggest uploading a zipped 3MF file:

More Info

Printer is a Mini+ that is only been assembled for 5 months. With a Bondtech upgrade added to it 3 months ago.  Firmware is current with Prusa3D drivers’ page. Currently printing the Drippy Bucket with Divider Insert by davemoneysign. Completed the Bucket and Insert with that filament. Also did get a successful print with their Gold Filament. I used his 3MF file to create the Gcode file that I printed. I have a little Gcode script I run first on the printer to set up the BondTech addon.

Part 3

Had fun last night printing. A loop in the filament on the spool appeared and snagged the filament going to the extruder. Got to give props to the Bondtech extruder it tried to pulling the spool and all thru. Hot end and extruder are now in need of maintenance.  Which will fix what every the above problem is

Part 4

Hope I can get this typed in before the forum database engine goes to not responding on me. Ordering parts again for the Mini+ hopefully can getting printing again soon. Thank you for looking.
