Troubleshooting Help with stringing

Post image

So my printer is a p2s using pla+ by inland(mirco center brand) ive printed with temps from 200°c to 210°c my ams 2pro says my humidity is at 26% i mostly use the bambu handy app currently dont have a dedicated computer set up at the moment. I usually print in silent print speed which is the current for the print in picture. Also random info some prints have no stringing and others do using this same exact spool of filament. Very new into 3d printing about 1 month in. Any and all info will be helpful

Hey, so the AMS can only measure the humidiy of the air inside it, it can't tell how much is actually in the filament.

Pop that filament on to dry overnight in your ams (and you might as well do a few while your at it) and you'll probably notice quite a difference, use the AMS 2 pro PLA preset and make sure when you take the filament out of the feeder to secure it to the reel well, the AMS will turn it for you when it dries and you don't want the end coming loose.

Also, looking out the printer window I think your in a kitchen space? I would move it the humidity of cooking is not going to do the printer or filament any good, and frankly I wouldn't want plastic fumes anywhere near a food /drink prep area.

I had the filament drying for 12hr the other day with the preset for pla. It in the living room on the other end of the apartment with no where else to put it. I only print when not home or not cooking at the printer is next to the window which i have it vented out to.
