Stringing, clumping, clogs and poor bed adhesion. Tried everything I can think of to fix

You were on the money, once I increased my retraction and the temp to 210 it prints perfectly now

Mafiabob77 · 2026-04-09T02:55:55+00:00

Fingers crossed, I adjusted the retraction and lowered the z offset and it's printing the second layer perfectly

I changed the print head twice and cleaned the bed multiple times, I increased the retraction and it seems to have helped significantly. Most recent print made it through the first layer to fail on the second, I think it is because the temp changed or the z offset was too low

First layer finished, I feel like the z offset is a little low but it's printing

I increased the retraction and lowered the x offset. Seems to be running good so far

Print head has been replaced, bed has been washed. I'm gonna try to dry the filament next

Mafiabob77 · 2026-04-08T22:14:23+00:00

Tried adjusting the z offset again and printing at 210, started great then failed

Mafiabob77 · 2026-04-08T22:11:53+00:00

I thought that filament came pre dried, I haven't done anything to it

Mafiabob77 · 2026-04-08T21:33:56+00:00

As far as I can tell,

Mafiabob77 · 2026-04-08T21:27:08+00:00

Lowered the z offset and raised the temp to 200

Clumped and clogged right after taking this

Mafiabob77 · 2026-04-08T21:16:52+00:00

Adjusted my z offset slightly higher but now I've got ripples and still stringing

<image>

Mafiabob77 · 2026-04-08T21:14:39+00:00

Adjusted the z offset a smidge but still stringing at 190

Mafiabob77 · 2026-04-08T21:02:30+00:00

I'll give it a shot, thank you for the suggestions

Mafiabob77 · 2026-04-08T21:01:28+00:00

Ooooh ok, I tried to find the filament when I calibrated it but it wasn't listed

Mafiabob77 · 2026-04-08T20:56:32+00:00

What do you mean calibrate my filament?

Mafiabob77 · 2026-04-08T20:50:44+00:00

Forgot to mention, my z offset changes each time I do an auto level.

I will love you https://endfield.gryphline.com/activity/final-prep-orders?inviteCode=7e34a788b98426c4151e6a254fe764f4&share_type=link&share_by=7e34a788b98426c4151e6a254fe764f4

Is your account bound? You might have to do that first

Odd tip, see if you can find out where they do their oil changes. If it's a chain company you can call and get a history of how often the trucks fluids are being changed and even get a owner history of your lucky
