Stringing (cobwebs)
3 Causes3 Solutions
Symptoms
Thin filament threads appear between separate print sections. Surfaces can look fuzzy and require manual cleanup.
⚡ Quick fix
Lower nozzle temperature by 5 C and increase travel speed; then tune retraction for your extruder type.
Causes
- ▸Profile mismatch between material and print settings.
- ▸Mechanical setup drift (belt tension, leveling, or nozzle condition).
- ▸Unstable temperature or moisture-sensitive filament handling.
Solutions
- ✓Re-run a short calibration print and adjust one parameter at a time.
- ✓Inspect hardware path: nozzle, extruder grip, bed condition, and belts.
- ✓Use material-specific presets and confirm temperatures with a test model.
