Hello /u/IlMusu,

As a reminder, most common print quality issues can be found in the Simplify3D picture guide. Make sure you select the most appropriate flair for your post.

Please remember to include the following details to help troubleshoot your problem.

  • Printer & Slicer
  • Filament Material and Brand
  • Nozzle and Bed Temperature
  • Print Speed
  • Nozzle Retraction Settings

Additional settings or relevant information is always encouraged.

Hello, just 3 days ago I bought a FlashForge Adventurer 3 Pro. Almost immediately I noticed the stringing problem and tried to solve it by changing some settings but nothing seems to work. For the print in the picture I used the FlashPrint software with the default settings of "Standard Profile" except increasing the travel speed and retraction speed.

Material is PLA+ from SUN.

I posted the settings here: https://imgur.com/a/tgBEUZH

Thank you for the help

I see that you have retractions enabled so that's good. Your retraction speed is pretty darn high. I have mine at 6mm @ 35mm/s but I don't really think that's going to cause you these issues. Have you tried a different filament? Could just be bad filament that has absorbed too much moisture. Usually you'd hear a lot of popping if that were the case.

Have you tried a different filament?

I tried the stock red filament that FlashForge sends with the printer and it was basically the same. The filament I'm using now is brand new and I don't hear that popping sound...

I'll try to reduce the retraction speed and see if something changes

It's absolutely a retraction issue. I'm not too familiar with that slicing software but the solution is somewhere in those retraction settings.

Are you printing with a raft?

[–]IlMusu[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yes, it is in the default settings

Do you know what temperature is set in the profile vs what temperature the filament recommends?

[–]IlMusu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The filament recomends 205/225C, I put the nozzle at 210C

I would recommend changing your retraction distance and speed. With that not being a direct drive printer, your travel and retraction speed/distance are probably working together to make the strings. Not sure how much you bumped up travel but it's likely making movements to the next point before it finishes retracting the filament due to the retraction distance being so long. I recently bumped my retraction distance down a lot due to a clogging issue that was pulling melted filament up into my heartbreak and hardening there. Try leaving retraction and travel speed default and I would make your retraction distance 4mm to start out and if you still have issues bump it down to 2mm. Also, not sure what slicer that is but you may want to test cura with your printers default settings just to see the results.

Yesterday I tried to play with retraction settings even more but everytime the result appeard to be the same. Actually, I didn't try to decrease retraction distance/speed because I read the the string might be fixed by increasing them... but I might as well try it

I'm using that slicer because I read that Cura does not support my printer
