I personally have no real issues with the default settings. the only thing i change during print is the nozzle temp after the first layer. rest is default, i honestly think the um team set up the default settings very well. i think a lot of people play with settings when they simply don't need to.

I agree that in some cases (like this turbine) you might as well just cut and sand off any strings, and be happy about an otherwise beautiful and strong print...
However, some prints are more complex, and will leave stringing in various cavaties etc., that are hard to reach and sand... In this case, you really want to minimize stringing.
My 3 goto tricks are:
- Lower temperature (even 5 or 10 degrees will make a difference)
- Higher travel speed (your UM should be capable of 200-250 mm/s, but be careful about missed steps)
- Get to know your extruder setup and a good retraction setting for it (I currently have 6mm. at 40 mm./s, but it varies from setup to setup)
