against oozing - my way
Hi guys,
I think we've all made our experiences with oozing and there are a lot of tips here at the forum how to reduce oozing.
but unfortunately they don't work under every circumstances. 🙄
so at times it seems to be impossible to avoid these sometimes spider-web like stringing structures.
but how to remove them afterwards ?
💡 ok, here's my solution for that: a very small blow-torch. if you are quick enough and avoid to heat up the surface of the printed objects, you can remove the oozing quite sufficient this way.
➡ be patient, don't try to remove to much at one "blow", practice.
right one is before treatment, left one after...
cheers,

Re: against oozing - my way
Another option is a heat gun. It's like a blow dryer but it gets hotter and will move more air than the blowtorch so you're less likely to melt the object.
You can get them at most hardware stores.
I don't have any photo to share but the concept is about the same.

I use a heat gun and it works perfectly.

Re: against oozing - my way
I hold a lighter against the print to get rid of the fine hairs. It is just important to wait a bit until the print has cooled down as the actual part will stay hot for longer than the fine hairs so if extra heat is added with a lighter just after the print has finished, thin sections can melt.
To limit oozing, I've tried to increase the K-value from 30 to 35 and 40 but that results in underextrusion near the overlap of solid infill and the sides so I guess that it's the retraction setting that needs to be fiddled with. So far I've raised the retraction length from 0,8mm to 1mm but that haven't really done the trick. 🙂
