My prints are getting these terrible stringing. It isn’t even stringing. It’s just dragging filament when you cross walls. I WILL forget to turn on “avoid crossing walls”. What is this and how can I prevent it??
Travel doesn’t show it either. I probably turned on a setting I’m not aware of.
Without the model, this is a guess.
It looks like a shallow dome with no support, these are hard to print due to the overhangs inherent without any supports.
Share the file and someone (it could be me depending on how long before you share) will take a look.
This is just a regular cone.
I will host the file on Catbox and you can download it and take a look
Just shared the file on this TRD.
Doing a print now.
Thanks so much man!
I’m printing this in PETG, keep in mind
You realise this is the first time you mentioned PETG?
You only provided an STL, so I am using my settings.
I will run the PLA test for a couple of CMs and then swap to PETG.
Shoot. I always think I give certain details, but realize I don’t after all has been done. So sorry.
I also print tested in PLA. Same results. I am testing again in petg,and surprisingly my problem was fixed. I think I was printing too fast and the layers didn’t cool off before the next one was put on, dragging the plastic with it.
If your results are the same as my old ones then I’m stumped.

My eSun PLA+ Black worked fine.
I have put some PinRui PETG Red (not HF), basic and old, as I am hoping to trigger something.
I am testing on my A1 mini as it will be the closest to your situation.
Those layer lines look very thick, what layer height are you using?
0.56
It looks like due to the high layer height the layers are not sticking together and are printing above the previous layer then getting dragged when the nozzle travels.
Makes sense. Thankfully this was a small project for my math class and it doesn’t have to be super precise. I will avoid big layer heights in the future.

Did you try my 3MF, which clearly works?
