To get good bridging you need to make sure the filament diameter that comes
out of the nozzle in mid air has a bigger cross sectional area than the
extrusion path. That means it will be stretched when spanning a gap, so
have enough tension to hold up. Of course if it is much bigger then it
might get stretched enough to snap. That might happen if the layers are
very thin compared to the nozzle aperture.

for a .2mm layer, indicating over extrusion.
Thanks.

Myself, having changed my controller board, and reinstalling Klipper, the
first thing is to get the extruder set properly. This is also what you need
to do

If you haven't set that correctly, then doing anything else is a waste of
time. elsewhere you mention bridging problems with Cura. Again, that is a
question of applying the correct settings for your filament. On my test
pieces, from some months ago, I could get 65mm. Of course, my test piece is
not the same as your project, but I know of no bridging problems with cura.
