Stringy blobs and gaps on thin pointy structures


Recommended Posts

Posted · Stringy blobs and gaps on thin pointy structures

Images below. Once it gets to the top of the pointy areas, I am starting to get small gaps and very lumpy edges. The rest of the print is mostly fine. the Infill does look a tad underextruded and I often get the blobs and stringing when it swaps between the 4 towers. (I've cut the worst of it off already here.)
ColorFabb PLA/PHA
Temp: 200
travel speed: 150
retraction length: 7mm
retraction speed: 35

Any tips? I am still quite new to this and hoped I can improve this print. 

I am using an old UM2 extended

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        New features
         
        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.
