I realised I couldn’t solve this on my own so I sought help from a group on Facebook. Others kindly suggested different print settings and especially on the subject of retraction. I applied […]
In this third test using the ‘Temperature Tower’ I have adjusted the print settings in Cura which should reduce the stringing. I looked specifically at the retraction settings so that the print head could retract filament prior to moving between each of the upright towers. I followed the same pre-printing process as before: I imported […]

There are three separate towers, one square, one round and one star-shaped with a number of cutouts to check the print accuracy at different temperatures. […]
