Hard to print honeycomb shape

Hello,

I made a design of part with a honeycomb area but no matter direction I print it I always have some bloody strings polluating the shape with no possibility of having the shape nicely printed. I tried severals PLA and it's always an ugly mess while my previous and old Microdelta Reworked made that correctly...I don't know how to correct it someone can help me please?

Some suggestions - try classic vs arachne slicing, select avoid crossing perimeters, try decreasing extrusion multiplier for the filament.

See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

Need to address the stringing. Either you have your temperature set too high, retraction too low, or your filament needs serious drying.

 

With that said, the main setting that has been a gamechanger for me on the mini has been the use of ramping lift. By default, the mini profiles don't have this enabled (whereas they are default on the MK4S/XL). Even with pushing temps/retractions to their limits, this has been able to overcome basically everything except for the most extreme geometries.

Either set this in your printer settings, or as filament override settings:
Use ramping lift: on
Maximum ramping lift: 0.6
Ramping slope angle: 1
