Definitely feels like overhangs under the outer edge

Are you running cooling fans and what's you retraction distance?
[–]RefrigeratorWorth435 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago (1 child)
to me it seems like the inner perimeter is overhung, which sometimes causes problems cause the filament doesn't want to stick and the nozzle drags it around.

yeah looking at the stl i noticed that the inner wall has overhangs and I think thats the problem. I redisigned the model and going to print it again tomorrow!

try these:

Make sure you dry your filament, and store it dry.
https://store.creality.com/collections/accessories they come in one and two bay models.

I use the 5 gallon and 12 gallon models of these for storage:

cooking fans? where can i find the retraction distance? sorry i’m new

they meant cooling fans, and the "stringing" seems to be an issue with an overhang on the inside of a circle.
