What causes stringing during 3D printing?
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 […]
