Stringy prints
I have the 500x500 V-Core 3.1 (Enclosed), Bondtech LGX Lite, Rapido 2 UHF, 0.6mm Nozzle. We have been running MatterHackers Build PLA at 205/68. No adjustments to the speed on the SuperSlicer profile. Prints have a lot of stringing, spiderweb-like. We tried 1 mm/40 mm/s stock retraction settings, we are now at 10mm/40 mm/s. Any recommendations?

You really shouldn't need to retract that far, it wont change anything. Go back to 1mm, and try faster. I use 80mm/s, but I havent really calibrated it completely, just good enough. Also, funnily enough, faster accelerations and travel seem to reduce stringing for me, so maybe turn up your travel accels
I have bascially the same hardware configuration but rapido 1

I’ve also experienced this. In my case it was because it hadn’t properly hot tightened my new nozzle. Not sure if this applies to your case, but wanted to mention it just in case.

I get very thin hairs when printing not-very-dry filament sometimes but its not like that
also I reccomend checking avoid crossing perimeters personally
it doesnt add that much print time and its very nice for some parts

Have you printed a retraction tower? That should help dial in the retraction but it’ll probably be around 1mm.
I do see some signs of over extruding which can cause too much plastic to be in play and create ooze. I suggest tuning esteps and extrusion multiplier: https://ellis3dp.com
