Prusament spaghettification

Hey all!

I purchased my printer as kit in March this year and for the most part, the thing just worked right away without much trouble. Recently I had a print that failed quite spectacularly and seems to have clogged the nozzle. I then switched nozzle and tested it with my new prusament filament and just couldn't fix the issue.
At this point I have replaced the PTFE tube and that little collet holding it to the heatsink, since the previous thing just melted as I was being not careful enough and ... long story short, it's assembled correctly again.

I hope this link works for everyone and if so, please have a look:

From left to right:
1. Original Prusament Galaxy Silver (I believe) PLA that shipped with the Prusa
2. BP White PLA that is at least 2 years old
3. dailyfil Grey that is also at least 2 years old
4. Original Prusament Premium Mystic Brown PLA, freshly opened and about 1-2 months old now

Any tips? I literally have no ideas what to do and try anymore. (apart form fixing the X axis issue)

Just to slow down the print and keep tinkering with the settings.  Also, try a different slicer.

I should probably clarify, all of these were printed with the exact same settings back to back. That is 215 Hotend and 60 degrees bed temps, same STL file and same speed.

@charles-h13

I truly never had to go below 100% speed but after testing a flex filament successfully at 50% I then gave the problematic PLA a chance again at 75% and that works flawlessly, thank you 🙂

I do not disagree, but slowing down the print can improve quality.
