Stringing is a common problem in 3D printing, manifesting as fine, thread-like residue between parts of the model, affecting the appearance quality. Its occurrence is usually related to printing parameters and material properties.
1. Overheating: Excessive nozzle temperature increases material flow, making it easier for fine filaments to be drawn out during nozzle movement, resulting in stringing.
2. Improper Retract Settings: Insufficient retract distance or speed fails to effectively prevent material from continuing to flow out during nozzle movement, a major cause of stringing.
3. Printing Speed and Movement Path: Too slow a nozzle movement speed or an unreasonable path increases the chance of material overflow, resulting in more fine filaments.
4. Moist Material: Moist filament will produce air bubbles when heated, leading to unstable extrusion and increasing the likelihood of stringing.
Adjusting the temperature appropriately, optimizing retract parameters, and keeping the filament dry are key to reducing stringing.
ACO 3D printing materials make printing more stable.
