Prusa Slicer v Cura Dec 2021

I have 4 x MK3S and use PrusaSlicer for all of my slicing into g-codes however lately stringing has became a major issue with small pieces so I thought I would check out Cura, loaded up the same STL file and choose a similar standard profile at 1.5mm layer height, exported the g-code, printed the piece and there was no stringing at all using Cura, did the same thing in PruseSlicer and the stringing is still there.

I'm using PLA+ for your information.

I thought I had hit the holy grail to reduce stringing using Cura however what I did notice after printing the g-code from Cura was, parts that are meant to be slotted into each other no longer fit, it seems like Cura does something weird and expands the prints a bit or something.  So I did more test and the same result happened using Cura.

Anyway, if someone has a fix for this odd behaviour using Cura I would be keen to hear what you have to say.

Getting back to the stringing issue I then reverted back to PrusaSlicer and dialled down the temputure from 215- 190 and stringing has been reduced however nowhere near as clean as the Cura profile.

Cheers.

This doesn't help your problem but may explain

Thank you for the link and yes I have watched this previously a few times.  Cura does print clean parts with virtually no stringing however the issue now is how the prints are slightly bigger that a PrusaSlicer g-code, wish I could find an answer on this.
