Stringing


Recommended Posts

Hello, my prints are coming out pretty well but I am getting some minor stringing (see photos). What can I do to improve this? 
 

I am thinking maybe higher temp? How do I know if I have the temperature too high?

    @Goonbunny87 That's a pretty good benchy.  Whatever your settings are, they are close to being just right.

     

    What printer are we talking about here?  What material are you printing?  What is your current print temperature, retraction distance, and retraction/unretract speeds?  Other settings come in to play as well.  "Max Comb Distance with No Retract" and "Retraction Minimum Travel" have an effect on whether or not a retraction will happen.

     

    You can print temperature towers and retraction towers to help dial in your settings.  Going hotter generally gives better layer adhesion at the cost of the plastic being soupier and wanting to dribble and that means more strings.
