Hi Lena,

It's been my experience 3d Printing that stringiness is attributable  to
the settings but knowing which setting(s) to change - that's the rub.

That can also change on each print.

Some people think 3D printing is like manufacturing where you set the
machine specs and click Print.

The truth is every print is an experiment.

It can change with the same filament but different color.

Sounds absurd but anyone who has 3D printed for a couple of years is well
aware of these challenges.

Thanks for sharing Simplify 3D which I've found has some worthy insights
but detailed solutions for your printer are limited.

Charles.

From the message, I'm guessing that Charles actually means "stringiness."

It's been a minute since I was in charge of a 3d printer, but I am guessing
the issue is the print speed. Try making it slower. This article also
suggests 5 different settings you can adjust:

I agree with Erich that the issue is probably not the stl file itself, but
the settings on the printer. In my experience, 3d printing is all about
trial and error, and having some failures is expected. However, I wouldn't
consider a print with some strings "failed," since they can be
broken/sanded off.
