PLA Stringing at all temperatures
Anyone having trouble with PLA stringing like crazy, regardless of the nozzle temp? I'm finding this particularly with the couple of spools of Materio3D filament I got at the same time as my MK3S kit.
It was kind of hard to photograph well, but I grabbed the gcode for the PLA version of this Temperature Tower and I'd say I've got a similar amount of stringing on every single level.
I assume the temperature tower is using sensible retraction settings. Is there something I could have done wrong in assembling the printer that is leading to this? I should probably try the same tower with the bundled filament... it hasn't seemed as stringy, although I think I've been printing easier things with it. I've seen other posts from people who were having good results with Materio3D, though, so I can't imagine it's just inherently super stringy...

Update: Less stringing with the prusa-supplied filament (not prusament -- the stuff that comes with the kit). But still some stringing at every level. I should be able to get relatively string-free prints from PLA, shouldn't I? Or is that an unreasonable expectation?

I'd calibrate the extrusion multiplier just to be safe. It is possible for PLA to absorb moisture, although it's not as bad with other materials. You can try drying it out if you have a dehydrator or can keep it at 50C/122F for 4+ hours. Don't heat it up too much or you'll get a big donut of PLA.
