Stringing and Oozing in 3D Prints

One common problem that many 3D printing enthusiasts face is stringing and oozing during prints. This occurs when thin strands of filament are left behind as the nozzle moves between different parts of the print. These unwanted strings can compromise the quality of the print, especially in detailed models or when working with certain materials like PETG or flexible filaments.

Many have tried adjusting retraction settings, lowering print temperatures, or increasing travel speeds to reduce stringing, but it can still be a persistent issue for some users.

What strategies or adjustments have worked best for you in minimizing stringing? Have you found any specific settings or techniques that consistently produce cleaner prints? Share your insights or solutions to help others achieve smoother results!

Lots Of Booze!

Make sure you have whip before retract enabled, helps a lot with stringing!

OH my, who’s the kinky one here. I suppose you meant wipe but that is booorrriiing.

I find stringing is most often a worn out nozzle, they are consumable just replace it.
