Cannot get rid of stringing
I've been printing custom keycaps recently and noticed a fair bit of stringing on some of them, So i started to fiddle with retraction settings, temps, acceleration and speed in Slic3r PE.
Retraction speed : 30mm/s to 100mm/s
Temp towers to find best temp for each filament : 195 to 210
Acceleration from 500mm/s to 5000mm/s
spped from 40mm/s to 5mm/s
Nothing I did would fix the stringing on the stringing tests, I grabbed a brand new box of amz3d filament and checked to see if it could be my filament is wet but its doing the same thing.
I'm desperate at this point to sort it out. attached picture shows a handful of the tests I've done at varying settings (printer was assembled by prusa rather than me).
Send help
Re: Cannot get rid of stringing
try 190 temp. it couldn't hurt to try.
I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

Still no difference :/

MatterHackers and Simplify 3D have nice print troubleshooting guides. I suggest reading through those to start with. I have some mild stringing issues myself, and am slowly working through the issue. Lower temps and faster non-print move speeds have helped. What slicer and settings are you using?
