Stringing with 0.8mm nozzle
Hi,
Wondering is anyone can help with the bad stringing I'm getting using the 0.8mm nozzle. I've attached a photo - it looks worst than it is and once completed the strings come away easily but I'm sure I can do better.
I tried changing the filament tempurature plus/minus a couple of degrees. I've tried changing the retraction settings from 2.8 to 2.9 and 2.7 but no difference.
Any ideas?

RE: Stringing with 0.8mm nozzle
When you changed out the 0.4mm nozzle for the 0.8mm did you change the retraction rate? I would expect you'd have to retract it more for a larger nozzle. This page gives some suggestions on how to change retraction for different sized nozzles: https://3dprinterly.com/9-ways-how-to-3d-print-with-a-larger-nozzle/#9-calibrate-your-retraction-settings

I'm using the prusa mini+ with input slicing profile so I assume it adds the right retraction setting? Maybe I'm wrong? But yeah I can try retracting some more, just not sure how much.

Another likely culprit is damp filament.
I note that you said your filament is new, but that's no guarantee of dryness. Try drying it for a few hours - this article has a decent breakdown of how to and options https://all3dp.com/2/how-to-dry-filament-pla-abs-and-nylon/
