Stringing worse than my ender 3 with same settings
Ciao guys, I am a super happy new prusa mk3s+ owner, come from years with a painful Ender 3.
I am printing a batch of toys for a kid party and I notice that my prusa (already assembled) has serious stringing issues
I am printing at both printers with same PLA Sunlu out of the box, 205° 60°, same speed, same layer height.
The only difference (that I am aware of, but I am a super-basic printer) is the slicer: cura for the ender, prusa for the prusa.
Any advice is welcome and thanks!

Well, with the info given it is quite hard to give advice. You basically said "I loaded two completely different gcodes into two different printers and got different results." Which is - to be honest - not a very big surprise.
The first picture shows signs of over extrusion on the Prusa side (at which layer height did you take that pic?). To see if it's a slicer settings problem you would need to save your Slicer project, zip-compress the resulting .3mf file and post it, so everybody can see what you are doing.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Thank you so much. This is the file exported. Looking forward to hear from you and learn some stuff 🙂

Mh, I can not see any obvious reason for this - you are basically using the default profiles which usually work well. The only Sunlu PLA I have right now is rainbow silk, which is probably a bit different to the standard Sunlu PLA. But I'll test print your project with it today - the little guy is kind of cute... I'll get back with the results.

omg thanks

That's how it turned out, I used your exact settings (just with my start gCode since I did not want to go through there an find out what you have changed).
The surface looks worse on the picture than it is because of the silk effect of the PLA. Some spider webbing visible on the claws, more than on your ender pic but a bit less than on your prusa version. Nothing a heat gun cannot cure in a few seconds... Seems to be a combination of the Sunlu PLA, the model and the printer. Interesting nonetheless. You might be able to tweak it away: I'd stay away from retraction settings (length and speed) and start by lowering the temperature. Or print a proper heat tower to find the sweet spot while you are at it.

you know what, actually with the ender I was printing at 205°, here 210°, might be that. Will try.
