Hi Lena, It's been my experience 3d Printing that stringiness is attributable to the settings but knowing which setting(s) to change - that's the rub.
That can also change on each print. Some people think 3D printing is like manufacturing where you set the machine specs and click Print. The truth is every print is an experiment. It can change with the same filament but different color. Sounds absurd but anyone who has 3D printed for a couple of years is well aware of these challenges. Thanks for sharing Simplify 3D which I've found has some worthy insights but detailed solutions for your printer are limited. Charles. Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2024 15:31:28 +0000 From: "Lena G.

It's been a minute since I was in charge of a 3d printer, but I am guessing the issue is the print speed. Try making it slower. This article also suggests 5 different settings you can adjust: https://all3dp.com/2/3d-print-stringing-easy-ways-to-prevent-it/ I agree with Erich that the issue is probably not the stl file itself, but the settings on the printer. In my experience, 3d printing is all about trial and error, and having some failures is expected. However, I wouldn't consider a print with some strings "failed," since they can be broken/sanded off.
