    As far as I know, PLA should be closer to 200-210degrees, I know thats around what mine runs, with a bed heat of 70 I think.

    how many shell layers are you using? seems pretty thick before it starts its infill
    Also how many top layers are you using? I normally print with 3 solid top layers. Takes a bit to get that nice solid top.

    I've always seen pla temps listed as 180-220. I've tried 206 and didn't see a difference. I typically print 2-3 bottom and 3 top layers. The layer pictured is the 2nd or 3rd layer of a 100% infill print.
    Am I crazy for thinking the layer should actually be, essentially a solid sheet of plastic?
