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!!!!.........

This was an absolutely immense help! Thank you! Stringing is completely gone!

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but you are an absolute legend, and the way you put this video together is great, and thank you.

thanks, however the criticism on this video is valid, however I learn from my mistakes, and I will be posting in the future a better video about this, and fix things I didn't do well here. thanks for your support my friend 😊

Going to give your settings a go, because I have been experiencing stringing on my recent prints. Thanks for the vid.

That is a very informant video. Thanks for making this youtube video and for the 3D files you're AWESOME !!

Worked perfectly for my HATCHBOX PLA filaments, along with the right temperature, stringing now is nearly non-existent, thanks!

Great video, thanks ! Export the G-code, save it, replace the file, pull out the sd card :D Man, I love it! That's gonna become a great channel

Thank you so much for this help, best result I've get from A LOT of testing.

Now I need a video "How to Fix Blobs on a 3D Printer" 😅

Im trying to print the temp tower, but prusaslicer keeps overring the temperatures with the filament temps? What am I missing?

Have you conducted this test for ABS? I just got a new printer (I've been only doing resin up to this point) and its stringing a bit, but since its an X1E I'll be printing primarily out of ABS.

Very nice explanation, with the same Settings my print is a dream. thanks very much.

that part where you kicked the dog really confused me as i thought you actually did

Made all the difference, thank you!

I am printing with a 1 mm nozzle. It helps a lot if I dial the temperature a lot back

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.

Awesome video thanks man

I agree its temperature. Nice video

Playing with temp is the easiest thing ive done. No hassle for extra tuning

Dry filament is also a good factor.

Export the GCode, Save it, Replace the file, Pull out the SD Card, Put it in the Computer, Drag the file into the SD Card, Replace the Destination, Pull out the SD Card, Put it back into the Printer, ....and Print. 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...)

Pthanks bro you help me no stringing nice

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

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 😉

@@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. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mJaHs9iDes3dYrQ.html

I read that putting the retraction more then 1.0 (you did 2.0) can cause problems later when filament moves into the 'cool area' and clogs it up. Do you find this to be true?

basic - swith of fan and buy correct filament. i never have any strigs

Your retraction speed is too high. Your slicer can't perform it correctly thats why it is red.

Faster retraction isn't better. That's a myth. I set my retraction to 1mm and speed to 20mm. No stringing. Done. And I have a cheap printer with direct drive. If you use a Bowden tube, set retraction to 4 or 5 mm and speed to 20mm.
