- Recommended temp for pla+. I'm stringing.
- Struggling with very thin stringing using new PLA on recommended temperatures
- Hello, thought I'd inquire as to why my Creality K1 is doing this. I ran a bland PLA filament at max recommended temp, speed was 150 mm/s witch is half of the standard speed but I still ran into the same issue.

- My bridges look kind of ugly. Tried reducing speed and flow, did not help much. PLA on Ender 3 s1 with upgraded cooling. PrusaSlicer 2.6. I`m already at the low end of the recommended temperature for the filament.
- My print came out misaligned (the top section) and the line ends curve a bit? Recommended temp: 200. Manually leveled the bed. Heard that problem might be due to belts being too tight/loose? I checked and the top belts are malleable and the bottom belt isn’t too tight that it plays a chord.
- Can anyone recommend a parameter I need to tweak to get rid of the bumps? I'm running an ender 3 S1 Pro with direct drive extruder at 210C Mika3d silky filament. I have retraction turned off. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

- Almost no Layer Bonding at al! Anycubic Mega S, E Sun PLA+. Tried it with Amazons PETG, same result. I tried all recommended Heat Settings, 205-225, Print sticks to the Bed EXTREMLY well with 70 Degrees. As soon as i try to remove it it comes apart the Individual Strings not keeping together..
- Infill looks stringy, edges of print are warped upward. PETG. Already printing at 210C, which is 15C under the recommended temperature for the filament to prevent stringing. Advice pls
- PETG snapped along the line. I printed at 238C (material datasheet recommends 210-230), fan at auto. Layers disassemble when twisted. Any ideas?
