I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this. I’m having an issue with my Sovol SV06, which is that I get a lot of stringing. I’m still fairly new to 3D printing, so I have no idea what could cause this and how I could go about fixing this. I already searched for this issue online btw but didn’t really find anything helpful.
The only change I made to this printer is that I hooked up a Raspberry Pi 4 to it and installed Klipper and Octoprint. I’m also using PrusaSlicer with the config from here.
Edit: Forgot to mention I was using PLA for this print
The config I’m using has increased speed compared to the default settings. I heard about the cooling system too, I could try lowering the speed to see if it helps and if it does, I saw online that you can swap the fan for a bigger one. Which speeds would I have to lower, exactly?
Ya lowering the speed is a good thing to try. Also, you may have a very slight clog in the nozzle which can lead to weird behavior like stringing and under extrusion
You could swap the nozzle, or do a cold pull. Honestly it would be a little challenging to explain that well over text, especially since I am not familiar with your specific printer (I’ve used and own a lot of them though). The best bet would be to look up on YouTube how to do a cold pull, or swap the nozzle. Some good YouTube channels are Teaching Tech, CNC Kitchen, and Made with Layers. Teaching Tech and made with layers are probably where you will find the best info for a beginner, but CNC Kitchen is 🔥
A bit hard to tell, as every printer is different, but try a small test file at let’s say 100 mm/s? I use Cura (really, really dislike the Slic3r/Prusa Slicer/Orca interface) and here it’s called “Print Speed”. Changing that will lower the others in the same way, can’t imagine it works differently in Prusa Slicer.
