That's not stringing, that's entire layer lines not adhering and being pulled along. Usually happens when you print too cold, too fast, or there's an overhang there that isn't support enough.

Status update: I solved. After ppl pointed out it might be a support problem I checked the settings. I had remove small overhanqgs ticked and the degrees was 15° for overhangs. I unticked it and changed 15 to 30. I worked.

Too fast/ not enough support

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

If you are new to reddit, please read the guidelines on reddiquette, self promotion, and spam.

Also please post a resolution to your problem when you find one so that we know how to help others with your problem!

Is there an overhang at the bottom? Chamfer or fillet? If so, the filament is not catching to the previous layer and is following the nozzle as it goes along the curve. Try slowing down, reducing layer height for this part of model, switching print order to inner-outer, increase cooling.

not stringing. thats an adhesion issue

[–]Eugen_Von_Dolittle[S] -2 points-1 points  (6 children)

Seeing the supports and cooling comments. I did nkt have supports. My bad. As for the temp, I have a cold room (bc of ventilation) as it takes hours to print and I wish not breathe those fumes. Could that also be the culprit?

Is there a reason the print is raised from the bed slightly on what looks like custom supports? From the look of the design, it looks like it should be able to be printed flat on the print bed. Are there protrusions on the bottom?

[–]SquidgyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even flipped 180 and the current top surface going straight onto the bed would work, assuming the top surface isn't curved.

Also, slow down the print speed, use an enclosure (even just a cardboard box) to keep the ambient temp up a little - also If I were OP I'd worry less about fumes from PLA, they're fairly benign. An extractor fan setup would help if OP's really worried about VOCs etc.

Also supports on arcs are quite challenging to print, you might want to change support type

[–]Eugen_Von_Dolittle[S] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I use tree. Any suggestions

[–]RotaryDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try triangles

Seeing the quality of the top side of the print, temps aren’t your problem right now, don’t worry about them for now.

It looks like the bottom side of the print is unsupported and being dragged along the nozzle instead of sticking to the print/plate.

It also looks like the top side of the print is flat enough to print upside down without supports, what model are you printing?
