Avoiding extruder collision with more than one instance
How can i stop the extruder collision warning which is preventing me from printing two of these bolts on the print bed please? I have moved both to opposite corners, one rear left and other front right but still cannot slice because of this warning.
No picture so an educated guess.
In: Print Settings > Output options > Sequential printing untick 'Complete individual objects'

I'm going with spread them further apart

For these two objects, am i getting the warning because of the extruder radius (45mm) and height (20mm) settings?
Why are you printing them sequentially?

Honestly, it's because of stringing moving between instances causing the prints to look meh. I know this is linked to speed/retraction settings but have not played around with them yet as still a novice.

I would just print one at a time for the moment. The total print time will be the same. You’ll just have a minor delay while the first print cools so you can clear it from the bed. Unless you have a second sheet to use, then you can leave the machine hot and just swap out the build plate.

At this time of year it's most likely to be due to damp filament.

it did it from brand new filament right out of the package before printing. I'm watching a few videos to learn the retraction techniques.

New filament is not always dry filament. You have no way to know how it has been treated in storage and transport. Assume it needs drying before use and then dry it again after exposure to atmosphere for more than a couple of hours.

- Seems like I need to have more than one dryer box from sunlu now lol. One just isn't going to cut it.
