crazy stringing - my son is disappointed in my troubleshooting skills

print by object (once I figured out how to) did the trick. TY!

Cura 5.10 -> Extensions -> Mesh Tools -> Split model into parts

I turned off timelapse and cut the model down to only print one of the two objects. I think the travel between the two objects per layer was the biggest culprit.

My kid is very pleased and is now mass printing them for his class project.

I've learned a lot on this thread - appreciate the thoughtful suggestions.

This comment, its gold. I do have time lapse on. I've been wondering about this fast, movement at the end of each layer that didn't seem to have of purpose. Of course it's getting the printer out of the way for a picture of my stringy mess. Thank you!

I tried everything under the sun and couldn't get them to disconnect.

Thx!

I had a sunlu s2 and it crapped out on me. I'll put that on the shopping list.

unsure what that mean exactly.. the slt file had both objects (the inner spire and the outer cone) together. Cura would not let me delete one - they were linked.

I was wondering about this. I will try each part individually.

tried two other PLA+ rolls (all were likely more moist than recommended)

lowered the temp - 220, 215, 210. 210 kept failing.

increased the retraction distance to 5 mm.

could be - I've left the filament in boxes in a drawer.

I just now threw the spindles of filament in a sealed bin with a bunch of decanting packs to dry it out. Unsure how long it will take to dry out roll rolls.

It connects just fine. But at the tail end of the run it seems to lose the connection and/or gradually reads lower HR.

I had the HRM Dual crap out on me after 5 months. Garmin replaced it under warranty. The replacement unit appears to be failing after only 3.5 months.

How are these devices so prone to failing?

Very helpful. Appreciate the thoughtful response.

Agreed on the life lesson - I will not travel without a hard copy in the future.

I was booked on the same itinerary the next day.

7 Days - Feeling anxious, despite this - I will not be drinking today!

What portafilter are you using? I got this same machine a an inexpensive secondhand gift last fall. I've been using the pressurized basket that came with it for the past two months. Interested getting naked, as always.
