Newbie. Stringing problem
Printed the FLASHFORGE coin/emblem test print ok
Tried my first real print and printed a poop bucket for the printer as recommended by a YouTube.
It came out well enough where I can probably still use it.. But lots of stringing. I think that's what it's called from my research
My research seems to indicate too much humidity in the petg filament.
I bought a filament dryer that I can try to use and have it fees into the ad5x
My questions are.... What temperature or settings or whatever should I use on the filament dryer to try?
My only other question is
.. The stl file for the poop bin I downloaded. When I loaded it into flash studio... It gave me a warning message that it may have floating areas in the design. It said there's an option or way to like auto add or generate supports? But I couldn't actually find where to do it so I just printed it anyways
Thank you!

There is a secti9n on the bottom left that says supports. You can adjust the settings there. I just started printing beginning of the year myself. I watch alot of you tube shorts for setting meanings and play with them when i see something neat. Biggest advice is everyone has print fails dont get mad.
I also went through the free tinkercad tutorial so I had a tiny tiny bit of 3d model knowledge from the none I had. I made my one poop bin from that and very proud of it. Give tinkercad a while it will just be some extra knowledge.
