Comment on Sovol SV06 stringing issue

I’m not sure about your specific situation, but usually stringing can be fixed by adding filament retraction and drying the filament. You can enable retraction in your slicer. To dry your filament, heat your bet to a temperature comfortably lower than your filament’s glassing temperature, put the spool on the bed and cover it with a box, then wait a few hours. (The filament is eepy)

I already tried increasing the retraction length but it didn’t help. I have it at 0.5 mm now and I read online that Sovol recommends not going above that. Someone else also recommended drying the filament, so I’m going to try that. I don’t know what the glassing temperature is but it’s PLA, do you know what a safe temperature would be?

It’s going to depend on the brand, prusa recommends 45c I’ve done at 55 and while it printed fine, don’t recommend that, PLA has a fairly low glass transition temp and that was right on the low end of where that starts.

I’m gonna try it at the temperature and time prusa recommends then
