More stringing then on my previous printer

Hi, what retraction value do you use? I found that 2mm is reasonable maximum on prusa web, but default from PrusaSlicer is 3.2mm. what value do you use? Do you have stringing issues? How to improve it?

I have come here to chew bubblegum and perfect my MINI ... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

RE: More stringing then on my previous printer

I left it at default and don't have much stringing even with PETG if filament is dry enough. Isn't the 2 mm value for MK3 printer? That one is direct drive (extruder feeds directly into hotend) while MINI is Bowden (long tube connecting extruder and hotend). Bowden systems have higher retraction values.
