    Thank you so much for pointing it out that tuning should begin from temperature and then retraction. I had severe stringing when printing small parts at regular PETG temp (235) and retraction (5 mm). I decreased temp to 215 and retraction to just 2 mm and it was IT! Part printed beautifully but a bit weak, too little layer welding. I increased temp to 220 and retraction to 2.5 mm. Now it's perfect! No coasting, no wipe, no extra prime. Ender 3 with 1.9 mm ptfe. Thank you :)

    It's not just caused from temp alone!, it can be caused by having your travel speed too slow for non printed moves which allows the nozzle to ooze filament because it's going too slow!!! when it shouldn't be printing anything, the faster it moves to it's next location for printing the less chance it has to ooze filament!, if you don't believe me try it for yourself with your temp tower!!!!.........

    Cute dog! There's a few more variables at play here, i've rarely seen stringing that bad at those higher temps such as 200-230, especially with your lumpy stringing, perhaps there was a flow rate problem at the time ? Thanks for sharing.

  • @practicalguy973
    @practicalguy973 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I wonder if more heat will be better layer strength as it can melt into itself more. I'm currently printing at 203C for PLA and getting some stringing.

    • @kalmanf
      @kalmanf  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haven't had issues with layers not being strong enough. But this MAY be a problem if you were to use a different filliment than mine. You can always print up a few sticks in different temps and test the strength 😉

    • @practicalguy973
      @practicalguy973 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@kalmanf I haven't broken anything yet but layer adhesion in general is a lot weaker than I'd prefer for parts than need to take a lot of force like a clasp or hook. I've learned that just printing them in the right orientation so the layers are not taking the force is all that I needed! There are some good examples of testing I found recently where you can see a wide variation in strength depending on a bunch of settings like seen here where some layers let go with as little as 12lbs of force. I'm just trying to push it to the hottest I can so the pla melts into itself more ensuring I dont get random weak parts when its a part that needs to be strong. th-cam.com/video/fbSQvJJjw2Q/w-d-xo.html

    Yes, seriously. I can't afford a Prusa MK4 yet, but when I can... my MK3 is going in the garbage... or maybe printing the files that I print a lot and never make changes to.
    I hate this process of 3D Printing so much, some days I just don't want to do it and I don't print anything.
    I can't wait to try this fix when I get home! (and replacing ALL my saved prints with the new setting, replacing each GCode in my SD Card one by one...)
