Stringing (huge problem)

Post by almarg123123 »

Hi! I own an Anycubic Chiron and I am experiencing a huge problem with stringing. The filament that I use is from Esun PLA+. I tried a lot of different combinations of temperatures, retraction distances and speeds, layer heights, z-hop on & off and many more. But the result is awful. Can someone help me?

A few things to check -

1) The Chiron hot end is notoriously bad... I have one.
2) Make sure the filament is dry
3) esteps, temp tower , slicer flow settings and then retraction settings

A great resource - https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html

Yeap I can see that... I tried to find out what estepes are or how to mesure them but I couldn't and also the roll that pulls the fillamets in or our scratches my filament a little bit even if I don't tight the spring..

even with flow settings I did the tests and I could find the sweet spot.. I was either too bad or just not good enough

Did you do the slicer flow settings by printing some test cubes?

I downloaded pronterface connected my printer and when I printed the string test was much better I did the flow test whith the command to extrude 100mm and my mark was att 120mm and so I calibrate it. the thing now is that when I start the print, it starts very high. I pressed the command M851 Z0 then M500 but when I press M501 the Z Probe Offset is still at M851 Z-16.60.... I dont know how to change this
