I’m still using the same stepper motor, but that was next on my list had replacing the extruder not solved the issue.

Like others are saying, probably a clogged nozzle. However, I want to say I just went through this myself and it was not a clogged nozzle. At temperature, I could put light pressure on the filament with my hand and it would come out smoothly, no clog. It can also be that your nozzle is too close to the print bed. In my case, it would do this even when suspended in the air, so that was not the issue.

I upgraded to a metal extruder, and no longer have this issue.

Despite what most people say, sometimes parts are the problem. This other commenter explained better.

That’s what I typically do. This was an odd case where I had failed half a dozen prints already, and ended up getting a successful print with a different orientation.

Fantastic, my company just switched to a new site that uses Okta for verification.

This was probably 2 or 3 years ago, but I had a .2mm nozzle and .08 layer height as well most likely.

My pla prints have always looked rough, no matter what tutorials or tweaking I do.

Not answering your question exactly, but consider this:

Creality Ender 3 Pro (common entry level PLA printer) - $236

Elegoo Mars 3 Pro (common entry level resin printer) - $194.99

I own both for different reasons. As many will tell you, resin for minis, PLA for terrain.

Here is the best PLA mini I ever printed:

You simply cannot get the level of detail you would desire for mini painting from PLA. I know others out there have done better than I have in the above photo, but it still pales in comparison to an entry level resin printer.

Edit: I have a photo of the same model printed with resin, but having a hard time uploading it for some reason.

I agree with you. I also sympathize with the above comment’s sentiment. The issue is that a lot of games released on PC / other consoles take much longer to release on the Switch, if they come over at all. (ie Red Dead Redemption 2 may just now be coming to the Switch)

So a PlayStation owner for example will have a much larger library of quality games to choose from.

This is why I have found myself personally touching my Switch a couple times a year versus every day like I used to.

My favorite example of the reverse in recent memory has been Wizards of the Coast essentially going back completely and then some on their unpopular OGL changes after a significant portion of their DnD Beyond members canceled their subscriptions.
