Excessive stringing with Overture Silk PLA

Howdy,

 

I recently completed building my mk4 from kit.  I had a bit of stringing on keychain test print with prusa filament but thought it was due to high humidity.  I’m getting a lot of stringing with Overture Silk PLA, even after drying at 55c for 8 hours.  I dont have it enclosed while printing , not sure if that’s long enough to pick up moisture.  I’ve tried various heat and retraction settings and benchmarks but they don’t seem to do much of anything.

any other ideas on what’s causing this and what to try appreciated.

 

thanks,

jon
