I baked at 310f. For 18 mins. Switching at 6 then 5 then 4 then 3 minutes. Should I try parchment paper or a different cooking time? Batch 2 I went a little longer but they're about the same.

I bake at 300f for 25-26 minutes, using mats. Try baking a little longer , and be sure to let them cool on the mat once they are out of the oven. I check for doneness by lifting the edge of the mat and seee if they will pop off. Then I let them rest on the counter for a long while.

This isn’t a hollow macaron, the issue is they’re underbaked and you didn’t allow the bottom to fully form. Even the macarons on the edges of the pan didn’t fully form. Bake them for a bit longer. You may try baking them for a bit too long to test the limits and see when you get a fully formed foot. In the end, you may also find out that you may need to skip piping the macarons in the center of the sheet pan.
Also, are you saying that you rotated (“switching”?) the macarons every few minutes? If so, this is excessive. It only needs to be done at most once, but personally I never rotate my pans.

This was happening with mine. Bake longer. Check the middle ones for a wobble (just lightly wiggle them). If they have a wobble, continue baking.
