ANYCUBIC PLA (I3 MK3S)

Hi.

First layer  Has anyone had any experience with Anycubic brand PLA? I purchesed a black roll off Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/ANYCUBIC-Printer-Filament-Printing-Printers/dp/B07DMF6J4M/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 , after using up my included roll of Pursament Silver PLA. In paticualar i am experiencing stringing, and low bed adhesion. Here is my first layer. I am using the generic PLA profile, with first/rest temp at 210/205 an dthe bed set at 70/70. I have also changed the retract speed to 45 and retract distance to 4.

Retract of 4?  Why would you do that?  And no image, so no clue what your are seeing.

prusa printers never should need a retract over 2mm and usually 1 or less is good, larger retracts are appropriate for bowden fed extruders but not direct drive ones

RE: ANYCUBIC PLA (I3 MK3S)

for PLA I usually use 0.4mm or 0.6 mm retraction on the direct drive  Mk3S

On my Bowden Mk2 with MMUv1 I use 3mm instead of the default 4mm...

Ah yes, the ol' MMU or no? question. MMU2 still requires higher retraction numbers, does it not?

I have used it and it is decent.  I prefer Atomic Filament.
