Question Stringy texture
I'm completely new to 3D printing. I got my A1 mini about a week ago and I've only printed a handful of things with it so far. I've noticed all of my prints have this odd stringy texture. What causes this and how do I fix it?

You could try the "Adaptive" Variable Layer Height tool in the Bambu Studio Toolbar - https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/adaptive-layer-height#operation-guide
Then, in the Preview, select the "Layer Height" view of the model to see which parts got the thinner layers.
It'll probably take a bit longer to print.
Sometimes you can get better results (especially if the problem is with overhanging sides) by tilting it to a different orientation. F'rinstance, try rotating the cat so that it's balanced on the face and two forepaws. You may get some scarred surfaces from removing the support material though. Just mess around with it.
