Monoprice Select Mini V2 retraction/stringing problem
I have a Monoprice Select Mini V2 and I’ve recently been having issues with little strings that are thick and sturdy sticking off of models:
I used Ultimaker Cura v3.4.1 to slice this model: Basic Retraction test using Hatchbox Black PLA filament
And the following settings:
- Layer Height: 0.1313 mm
- Wall Thickness 1.05 mm
- Infill: 22%
- Extruder Temp: 200 °C
- Bed Temp: 55 °C
- Retraction Distance: 4 mm
- Retraction Speed: 40 mm/s
- Speed: 50 mm/s
- Z-Hop When Retracted: Off
- Supports: Off
- Adhesion: Brim
I’d appreciate any advice on how to fix this problem.
What I ended up doing was using the settings from the cat.gcode that came with the printer. It has a retraction of 10 mm specified, which I thought was a bit much, but if it works, it works.
If you haven't already, you can tweak the setting and find the minimum distance. 10 mm does seem high, would 8 mm still work? etc...
