Comment on Tearing my hair out over stringing with Klipper

I think it is best to first print a temp tower then some retraction test where you would stick with same temperature and variates distance and speed. You can use tools here to make it simple. teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html
If after that, you still have stringing, best is to test a new spool (or dry your spool) as too much humidity in pla will give you stringing whatever settings you use

I haven’t shown them, but I did print a temp tower and retraction tower when I first got the printer, which is how I got my initial 190deg, 4.5mm@40mm/s settings and those worked until I flashed Klipper. Now it seems that flashing may correlate with the filament having gotten wet.

You may want to try hotter too if you haven’t yet. Printing faster can sometimes require a bit of extra heat and too low can cause a different kind of stringing.
