String arts in threads not working well

I recently bought this app to make amazing string arts: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/app-to-create-string-art but the printer (mk3S+) is not anchoring the lines properly.

Where should I change to make it start and finish properly anchoring correctly inside the walls? It's like the printer is retracting and delaying to start the line, printing a line in the air without anchoring it first, also, it's not finishing the line properly too. Maybe the cuprite is the  rectration setting? Default setting, standard PLA.

RE: String arts in threads not working well

please provide a sample STL, for us to investigate. 
my first thought is line thickness.   if the individual lines are smaller than the extrusion width set in slicer they will not print
can you adjust line thickness in the program?
if not, try changing 'extrusion width' in Prusa Slicer!

Maybe change the external perimeters value to 0.4mm

or  try changing the 'XY Size Compensation' value to artificially change line width

RE:

Here is a example of what's happening, while the printer printed the strings starting and finishing on the air, the external perimeter wasn't ready, you can see it comming and the string on the air.

I'll try retraction 0 too. There is a option to config the anchoring extention? Something like penetration, or else.
