Strange Stringing on outside of print.
Hey people,
I am trying to print a few inserts for a box game and even though I dried my Petg and did a PA tune I somehow get this kind of string on the outside and inside of the print.
It was a single-part-print.
Cheers

Do these strings correlate with the travel of the nozzle?
I had a smiliar problem with my Dragon HF, which was oozing
What fixed it was increasing the travel speed
You can check the travel in SS
Will give it a try
stringing (whisping) has lessened, but the bigger strings remain

Do they still correlate with the travel path?
no
I watched the print for quite a while and it seem to originate from z hops
how can I reduce that? more retract?

Maybe, or increase retract speed if your printer allows for it
Or deactivate zhop
nah that wont do
I think I fixed it
The models I am printing have a shitty wallthickness so SS tries to print all the perimeters etc and while doing so includes MANY travel moves. So I set a height modifier for the walls to basically have just one perimeter for the inside and outside. Adding a better seam alignement eliminates 99% of the travel moves.

Nice, but quite some ringing?
Or is it just a bad angle?
Bad angle and a 0.6mm nozzle

you can even see it in the slicer
Arachne enigne making the extrusion wonky with these walls
