    Great video. I'm delving deeper into these types of settings to help minimise stringing for a larger nozzle and PTFE filament.

      It is a lot of trial and error. Let me know if you find a “silver bullet” for getting rid of stringing. I am always looking for ideas and tricks.

    Thanks for sharing. Those tips should help a lot of newcomers to the hobby. I print some silk and usually don't have stringing issues. You made sure the filament was dry as well I assume? I know it is not that hygroscopic mind you. The biggest downside to silk though is layer adhesion. So I hope the trophy lasts a while. Cheers

      It was actually french out of a well sealed package. It was dry (as far as I could tell). Try he end result was pretty good.

    Hi just to let you know there is a pre made printer profile in orca slicer now for the ender 3 S1 plus, but ironically they have set the retraction at 8mm so watch out for that if you decide to use it 👍

    • @minimal3dp
      @minimal3dp  2 месяца назад +1

      Already got bit by the 8mm. I printed a square and the side fell off. No filament in the corners. Thanks for the heads up.

    I think you should have run a temp tower first.

      I actually did. I thought I had that dialed in.

  • @philipershler420
    @philipershler420 2 месяца назад +1

    Given how little stringing you ended up with, would a quick swipe with a temperature controlled heat gun or a small torch, take care of what’s left?

    • @minimal3dp
      @minimal3dp  2 месяца назад

      Probably but my wife was happy with the results. I was also worried that the thin sections would not hold up. I might try it on my extra tower.

    I appreciate what you did and I understand the limitations. But this is neither a "Perfect Print" nor has it "banished stringing". It merely has reduced it.

    Hello, what would a good retraction test range for a high flow kit be?
    I was using a CR Sprite Pro and had dial in the stringing issues but after I changed to a high flow, oozing and stringing was damn apparent.

    • @minimal3dp
      @minimal3dp  2 месяца назад +1

      I would look at something under 1, like .3-1. Test retraction distance and speed to get the best results.

    i print almost exclusive silk filaments, and for me the way to get rid of 99.5% stringing was by disabling z-hop. this on a direct drive with volcano nozzle

      I will try with z hop off and see what it does. I appreciate the feedback.
