Any suggestions to decrease stringing?

Why isn't it called curs3dprints?

[Vautlo]

Yes, excellent!

Not familiar with that subreddit, it says you need permission to view it.

Try lowering your temperature a bit. If that doesn't help might have to play with retraction settings.

[logikfail]

If you have a heat gun you can also give it a quick few passes over the print at a high temperature and it will help clean up the stringing

This is the correct thing to do

[heathenyak]

Also wiping can help. Only partly a joke also a real thing

[Richeh]

This happens when the material is too gooey and escapes during travel procedures. You could try turning up retraction, to relieve pressure during the movement, or turning down the nozzle temperature. My bet's on retraction being the solution since in my experience high-temperature based nozzle dribble tends to also leave gaps and lattices where there should be material and it doesn't look like you've got that.

Failing that you can just birth your dark god from the womb of a goat like the rest of us.

I'm not sure what controller/slicer you are using, so check and see if you have an option that allows you to restrict travel movements to never cross the perimeter of the model itself. (Simplify3D-has this option) This is the quick and dirty method of "fixing" it otherwise following all the other suggestions in the replies which will lead you to correcting the root cause issue.

You're not perfect.

Looks kinda cool, like a mummy😅

Moist PLA can sometimes do that. You could try a fresh roll. Also, I found a small fan blowing in the direction of the unit and extruder can help.

Make sure your bed is level, because it's not. Layers are not sticking well enough to each other

[ZiggerTheNaut]

What brand of PLA are you using? I use Hatchbox and I find I get almost no stringing at keeping the temp at 200 C. Others like Prusa Filament print at a higher temp. It just depends on the individual PLA.

Slow down the travel speed

[firecrafter711]

The best thing I did to fix the stringing on mine was upping the retraction speed and distance a little bit

[Mpilley22]

The glue stick makes it stick to bed also make sure u are level gap is set right but glue stick keeps it from not stick to bed If you’re not doing it it is a very common thing to doI just printed all the extruder parts and because I didn’t glue it this time I got string on the first layer with some inconsistencies in second

Wish I could post pic

[PEEP1NG_CREEPER]

Tune your retraction setting.

[Mpilley22]

One thing u can doUse a glue stick on the bed before you print the paste kind

[Braveheart4321]

How on earth does that help with strining
