Having horrible stinging issues :/

Having horrible stinging issues :confused:

Try turning the temperature down a little? The excess extrusion at the end there looks like the hot end is a bit too hot and forcing kind of a lot of plastic.

Printing at 210° just did PID tuning this morning. Fluctuations stay at ±0.1°C made no change to the stringing. Does it with all filaments. And its so bad excess started sticking to the silicon sock lol

Tested PLA and PETG :confused:

PETG does this thing where more part fan airflow make more stringing, try at 20% or less and see if it helps.

Print faster or turn down the temps to control the stringing

Slight improvement. Somehow i was underextruding by 12% still little angel hairs of stringing :confused:

@Kura_kuea printing at 40mm/s what do you recommend?

@Cristian_Martinez try around 195-200. As long as your layer adheasion is adequate for you.

Gonna try 200. Layer adhesion is what im worried about lol

If the layer adheasion is suffering, try printing a little slower or check your retraction settings

Faster printing requires higher heat, but that can bring stringing with it. Gotta find a sweet spot that work for you ^^

Ok no stringing at 200. Gonna try 205 :slight_smile:

This was all working fine before i replaced my extruder lol

@Cristian_Martinez What did you switch to?

@Kura_kuea not extruder. Hotend. Same kind. I just needed to replace it since i had a second blob of PETG and i lost some wires

@Cristian_Martinez Ah ok. I use a V6lite I believe if that help tuning yours. :stuck_out_tongue:

@Cristian_Martinez I found PETG to be a wonderful material. Managed to get it running with very little stinging and amazing prints. Love the stuff, but wish there were more color options

I have an e3d V6 full metal hotend and yes PETG is the best!

@Cristian_Martinez I’ve never understood why use a sock though. Seems to just cause some horrible catastrophes
