To be clear I know it's not well lol. I just wanted the community's thoughts on what I'm doing wrong. I'm using Overture Royal Gold on a modified CR-10v2 with a real V6. Model was sliced in cura with default low quality settings.

The filament I bought a few months ago but just broke it open yesterday. It's making some small popping noises every now and again but the seal didn't appear to be broken. It seems all right otherwise, if a little sticky on the roll. I had to move it out of my filament dryer to keep it from opening the lid because it was binding so much. That's what happened to the last tower, that failed mid print. Looks nice at least.

Even if it looks well sealed, it still could be humidity and popping sound usually means wet filament. That being said, you didn't mentioned if it was pla/petg... Guessing it is pla due to the temp you are using but always best to mention it. Have you watched the print ? Did it actually change temp while printing? because between 190 and 220, there is usually more difference than what you have here, especially on the bridge part.

It did! And it is pla. It did change, I used kartchnb's auto tower addon. The bridging looks pretty good on the first few sections but the layers didn't bind on the upper sections. Honestly 220 looks the smoothest for that and the overhangs.
