If I had to print this on my UM2 in PLA, I would try 20...25mm/s, and 180...185°C first. And then watch what happens and adjust on the fly as required. The slow speed is to get as little nozzle pressure as possible, thus even flow and less leaks during travel, and the low temp to improve cooling and reduce stringing as much as possible. And of course I would print a dummy model next to it, so the nozzle has more cooling time, to avoid heat-deformation.
Less heat deformation with a dummy (square tower) next to the real testmodels (cones). Numbers are cm, little lines are mm. The cones are 20mm diameter x 20mm high; the blocks are 10mm x 10mm wide, and higher than the cones.
Tips for dummies.
Example of real dummy and part of real model.

Thank you I'm printing this on my monoprice select mini. I will definitely be trying this method thank you!

In your settings it says that the material diameter is 1.75mm ... is it a modified Ultimaker?
Which one is it? Ultimaker 2+ / Ultimaker 3 or Ultimaker original / +
On Ultimakers travel speed can go up to 250mm/s
Sorry I wasn't clear, I'm the monoprice mini

What printer is this ? (Not an Ultimaker i guess).
To avoid (or reduce) stringing:
Adjust retraction settings (relieves pressure in the nozzle)
Lower temperature (lowers oozing)
Increase travel speed (lowers travel time, thus lowers nozzle pressure, thus lowers oozing)
I'm using the monoprice with pla,thanks for you tips I'll try it out

Hello, I have been printing some small objects recently and I have encountered some stringing and bad prints. I'm thinking it has to do something to do with my Cura settings. I have added my settings and pictures of the prints below. Is there an optimal setting for small prints? Also, any general tips to improve my print settings would also be appreciated. Thank you!
I'm printing with the monoprice select mini with PLA, my Cura settings are:

Thanks I'll try that. I know there small but I want to be printing some jewelry peices so these prints were some test prints. I'll check out the thread you mentioned. Thank you!
