Stringing

Hello everyone. I just built my printer few days ago. Getting stringing, even on test castle gcode on the SD. Not my first printer, but why wouldn't the default prusa profile made for the printer not be close at least. Any advice is welcome. I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue with my Assembly. Thank you

RE: Stringing

You give no info??????

The test you let see is a difficult one, and if you only print 1 model like this, it will get to hot at the top, and not cool down enough.

search for the stringing test with a round pillar top.

Try another spool. Even PLA can absorb moisture which will aggravate stringing.

I tried the brand new one included with my mk3s and then also a brand new roll of overture. No change.

Print 2 or 3 models at the same time, 1 model it can not cool down enough.
