Print not sticking together.

Hi folks! :)

I'm having some serious printing issues. I'm not sure if the problem is the slicer or the printer, but I'l ask anyway. :)

My prints aren't sticking together. From the first layer all extrusions seems to far away for each other. I can see right trough my prints and the side walls are "falling off"/coming loose from the print. I feel like I have tried modifying every setting possible, but I can't get my prints to get better. The strange thing is that I have printed the exact same model before and it came out perfect.

I will attach a photo. Maybe you guys can help me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance. :D

I would start by reviewing these:

My guess would be either the nozzle is starting too high from the bed (that will make the lines look like they are spaced too far apart), or perhaps you changed your filament since the last time you printed the part and it requires different temps or flow rates.

Thanks for your reply! :)

I have leveled my bed as perfect as possible. (In my opinion :lol: ) (One piece of paper "almost" fit between the nozzle and the build plate).
I have also increased flowrate to the point where my exstruder is "skipping", also with maximum temp for the filament. (What is written on the label +5deg.) (Combined to maximum the amount of filament extruded).

This is another filament brand, yes, but it both is PLA+ , so it should't be that different settings?

Kind regards
