Could be too much heat so when film retracts some still drip and causes that. What temperature are you printing at?
First layer 240 deg Celsius, other layers 245 degrees.
That’s pretty hot for PLA
It's LW-PLA, that foams, could be necessary for the foaming. We just used the filament by the manufacturer with their model files and presets.
Have you tried drying it? Sometimes filament is not dried out of the box.
Not yet, another commenter also suggested this. I assumed new filament to be dry. We'll try that, if nobody else has a definitive answer.
Often there aren’t definitive answers, and drying never hurts;)
according to manufacturer Temp should be between 230-250. Maybe try with 230 and see if it helps?
A better option is to print a "temperature tower"
something like that: https://all3dp.com/2/temp-tower-cura-tutorial/
It should show which temperature is ideal
