Terrible oozing
1 month after assembling my printer I cannot print any useful object ( I'm into model railroad )
I checked the article http://manual.slic3r.org/expert-mode/fighting-ooze
My settings are:
Retraction length 2 mm
retraction speed 70 mm/s
Could you please tell me what are your settings because I want to know what I'm doing wrong
Please don't laugh at the picture 😆

Re: Terrible oozing
Try following things:
-> lower the filament temp
-> lower the flow rate
-> print slower
-> print more objects at the same time. Your example is actually an ooze stress test for a printer
Change type/brand of filament if that doesn't help.
You can also get rid of the tiny hairs by post processing with heat gun.

Re: Terrible oozing
OP- you failed to indicate filament parameters. Filament type, your temp profile and your speeds.
Re: Terrible oozing
Other than the tiny hair like strands (Not a big deal, and very easy to clean up IMHO) this is an AMAZING print!!!
Re: Terrible oozing
if you are printing petg that can happen. My retraction settings are half the speed and distance of yours ( 0.8 and 35mm) and i rarely experience any stringing.
I agree with turning down the temps. ooze happens when the temps are too high. you may have a specific filament that does not need the temp to be as high as what the slicer is selecting.
Re: Terrible oozing
I got some cheap PLA from Amazon and no matter what temperatures or settings I use it always comes out furry and looking a lot like your photograph. I simply don't get this problem with other filaments. So, perhaps it's the brand you're using?
Re: Terrible oozing
OP, could you post your retraction settings?
