Thin threads of filament left behind during nozzle travel moves. Affects appearance but can be removed in post-processing.
Improper retraction distance or speed causes filament to ooze during travel moves, resulting in stringing.
Excessive temperature reduces filament viscosity, making it more prone to dripping from the nozzle.
Slow nozzle movement gives more time for filament to ooze during travel, increasing stringing.
Moisture in filament creates steam when heated, contributing to stringing issues.
Adjust according to filament and printer type.
Start from the lower end of recommended temperature range.
Faster nozzle movement reduces stringing.
Especially important for hygroscopic materials like PETG and nylon.
Use advanced slicer settings to reduce stringing.
Methods to remove stringing after printing:
Material prone to stringing
Stringing solutions for flexible materials
