Stringing, the never ending story

I have the same problem. I cannot eliminate stringing. It’s fine and wispy and occurs every time there is travel.

Things I have tried:

  • Normal zhop
  • Disabled zhop
  • Disabled retraction on layer change
  • Disabled wipe on retraction
  • Retraction 0.2mm → 5mm (0.2mm per step)
  • Nozzle temperature 190-255 (5c per step)
  • No part cooling
  • Max part cooling
  • Orcaslicer flow test is bang on
  • Dried Bambu Lab Tough PLA overnight at 50c
  • Dried and tested Bambu Lab PLA Basic
  • Replaced hot end with brand new hardened steel one + calibration
  • Tried printing Orcaslicer retraction tower in latest Bambu Studio
  • Disabled timelapse
  • Deleted timelapse G-code
  • Printing object in different location on the plate
  • Using external spool holder instead of AMS
  • Cold pull on both nozzles

Going to have to put a new list of ideas together tomorrow. Wasted multiple days on this so far but at least I am learning a lot. I am guessing there is something fundamentally wrong with my unit. Hopefully not though.

Let me know if you see something I’ve missed.

Edit: Next step will be applying some thermal paste between the hot end and block to see if it’s a heat transfer issue.
