LW-PLA
Does anyone have experience with LW-PLA printing?
I cannot set up the printer for satisfactory printing.
I welcome any advice.

LW-PLA and similar foaming filaments are always tricky as they throw away accuracy for volume but there is no easy way to predict where the ooze will go.
However, no-one can help you until you describe or show how your prints are failing; "it doesn't work" is impossible to diagnose.
Cheerio,

I have tried several materials and settings. So far without success.
PLA is absolutely problem-free
Is this one of those model aircraft files?

Yes. We print airplane models. We tried a few prints today with your setup. First wITH Color Fab- LW-PLA-HT.
Other print with PolyLight - LW-PLA 1.0 from 3Dlab...
Obviously, the prints can be used, but I would still like to remove the stringing.
Thank you for your time
How are you drying your filament?
Cheerio,
RE: LW-PLA
Not sure what LW-PLA your using I have used both ColorFabb and LW-PLA from eSun. For ColorFabb they recommend masking test cubes. They provide the gcode on the site link https://colorfabb.us/how-to-print-with-lw-pla
I'll see if I can find my old settings for the eSun prints. What are the current settings you are using? Temp, etc?
RE: LW-PLA
Both filaments are new, unboxed. 😔.The print has improved 100% with Polylight, but it's still not the same...
I'll try putting both filaments in a hot air oven at 50 C for a few of hours...
It's still very stringy so far.
Interestingly, I didn't have such troubles on the Mini or MK3...
My a new Core One prints PLA perfectly, but TPU, PETG, LW-PLA is a big problem...
Support Prusa without interest...
I'll try another slicer today. Cura or Simplify.
