    1. Recommended temp for pla+. I'm stringing.
    2. Struggling with very thin stringing using new PLA on recommended temperatures
    3. 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.

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.

    1. 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..
    2. 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
    3. PETG snapped along the line. I printed at 238C (material datasheet recommends 210-230), fan at auto. Layers disassemble when twisted. Any ideas?
