Hello,

 

Here are some results with CPE on a S5; bad stringing or is this usual?

 

Also it looks like the infil is not fully bridging. 

 

Any tips would be great.

 

AA 0.8, BB 0.4

0.2mm layer height, simple profile, 50% infil.

    CPE is always stringing, especially if printed with the 0.8 print core. You can try to turn off combing completely, then you will get a better result. To avoid the strings between the object and the prime tower, you could move the prime tower nearer to your object.

     

    Printing slower also helps.

    I also did some tests to print cooler but was not successful to avoid stringing, without other side effects. 

     

    CPE is harder to print than PLA. I try to avoid printing with the 0.8er print core and CPE, I get better results with the 0.4er core.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
