Scarring

[JasonC 1]

Hello,

Does anyone know what settings can be enabled/changed to avoid the scarring on top surfaces? I know there is a new neosanding feature in 2.7 but it adds quite a lot of time onto the print which I'd like to try and avoid if possible!

I've tried the combing options but they don't seem to do much.

You should enable retraction (or increase the amount retracted) and enable z hop when retracted.

I would also try the "Top Surface" option in 2.7. I have not done a large flat area like that, but it seems to make a difference on the top areas of my more organic prints.

Ok I will try enabling Z hop. This material is TPU so I'm hoping that enabling this doesn't make it more stringy, but I guess I can adjust my retraction to compensate.

ooohhhh...flexible materials are notoriously difficult to work with. I would be very interested to see your results and any information you would be willing to provide.

Hi, I have found retraction when printing TPU/TPE not to be a problem. Very little stringing occurs.
