Ok guys, I’m breaking down and posting here to see if anyone has any ideas. I’m greatful for any advice.

I have an upgraded flsun SR. I recently lost my computer (psu issue, waiting for replacement) and I took this opportunity to switch from Cura to Orcaslicer.

Over-all I’m very happy, and getting some good speeds, but I just cannot remove stringing no matter what I try:

  • Retraction from 0-7mm. After about 3mm, no further effect
  • Retraction speed from 30mm/s-50mm/s. No noticable effect
  • Travel speed and acceleration both high (up to 350mm/s and 6000 accel. No effect
  • Temp from 205-215 with no effect
  • Dried filament and different colours, no effect
  • Wipe on retract on and off, up to 2mm wipe distance and 100% retraction. No effect
  • Messed with scarf seams on and off, no effect
  • No effect from layer heights

My setup:

  • Printer - FLSun SR running klipper with a speede pad
  • Filament - Esun PLA+
  • Upgrades - Deported fans, OMG v2 extruder, volcano hotend and high flow cht nozzle
  • Rangelus@lemmy.nzOPEnglish

    Thanks for the reply mate!

    I didn’t think to mess with z-hop - I’ll give that a go, and I’ll do some testing to make sure the Bowden is seated correctly and the wipe on retract is actually happening - thanks!

    The print in the image is a ‘torture test’, and just something I had on hand to illustrate the issue. I’m actually not fussed if there is still some stringing at the top, but other detailed prints were getting it pretty bad, including retraction towers.
