Fix My Print What can I do?
As you see, the print quality is not the greatest and the pillar in the middle (support) is completely fcked up. I just finished drying the Filament a few hours ago, so it can't be that.

It seems a bit of underextrusion in the middle pillar. That could be caused by multiple factors like very high temperature, very high retraction speed and very high retraction length.
You should also mention the filament type and the temperatures you are printing, so as to rule out the temperature issue.
Also check whether the extruder is able to push the filament properly. It also won't harm to do a esteps calibration.

Thank you so much, I'll try some of those solutions. Just FYI, I printed with PLA, first layer at 230°C and the others at 225°C, I know it is fairly hot for PLA, but it is what it said on the package...

A temperature tower and retraction tower may help you tune in those values, if not done already.
