Printing here with eSun PLA at 215 C on a Prusa Mini, and there are lots of hairline strings.

What's causing those strings? Temp too low?

Something else that contributes to stringing is using Z-hop as there's nothing to wipe the nozzle clean. My printer is calibrated well and I still get stringing when using Z-hop.

Yeah z hop should really be close to off unless you have a really really narrow print profile.
