Loose strands on bridging

So I'm testing out some slicer settings for bridging, and bridges seem to come out really well! The only issue is that there seems to consistently be some bridge strands detached at the start of the bridge structure on each bridge - any ideas what could be causing this?

Your first layer Z could go a little lower.

What filament are you printing?

White filaments often contain so much pigment that they don't behave as well as they might, have you tried with clear or black?

Cheerio,

RE: Loose strands on bridging

I concur with Diem. It seems the first layer Z should go lower, but I don't think that those detached strands are related to that.

You don't say if this is PLA or any other type of filament. If it were PETg, for instance, you must assume that this filament is not as good as PLA for bridges and overhangs,  Even if it's PLA, with those long bridges a bit of sagging is almost unavoidable. but not so many detached strands as in your picture,
