Hello, good morning:

My name is Alvaro Achutegui, I have the printer:Original Prusa i3 MK3S+,here in Bilbao I have bought the filaments of the brand SAKATA3D.PLA 850.I do not know if it is because the printer iscalibrated, but in the printings I get threads or strands threads or strands are generated.I have been told that threads are generated because the nozzle temperature is too high. very high.I believe that this problem does not happen if you use the filaments you use the filaments that PRUSA sells.

Does anyone have the Prusaslicer profiles for SAKATA3D or a profile that does not give me so many problems?I think I have some incorrect configuration, but I don't know what it is!And I need help, it happens in all the figures!It is also true that I use filaments from different manufacturers like BQ, that may also be the problem.Can someone please help me?

Thank you.

According to the Sakata3D website for that filament (https://www.sakata3d.com/en/content/14-pla-85 0" href="https://www.sakata3d.com/en/content/14-pla-850" rel="noreferrer"> https://www.sakata3d.com/en/content/14-pla-850 ) you should set the nozzle temp to 200-220 and the bed to greater than or equal to 40°.  You don't say what setting you are using but I would start with 220° Hot End and 40° Heat bed and if that gives you stringing (threads as you call them) lower the hot end temp by 5° and increase the bed temp by 10° (So next try 215° hot end and 50° bed) but don't exceed 65° for the heat bed or 225° for the hot end.  Most PLA works for me at between 210° - 225° Hot end, and 60° for the heat bed.  Experiment, part of the fun of 3D printing.

I have never used the filament that you have, 
But you could try lowering the nozzle temperature on a different PLA Profile

Like this

RE:

There are times when it is better to ignore Prusa's preset configurations.

I have printed a figure at 200ºC and the bed at 60ºC and it prints very well and with hardly any threads.

Well there is always some .... but it is for the retractions to remove 5 is not the same as removing 20.

I have not yet dared to put the rolls of filament in the oven because maybe they are wet and therefore

I generate threads as well PRUSA commented in his posts:

https://help.prusa3d.com/article/drying-filament_332086

Perhaps 200ºC is too low a temperature, PLA will need more temperature.I don't know this is very confusing for me.
