Stringing/Oozing Problem

a year ago by dohpaz42 to c/3dprinting

I am using an Ender 3 Pro v2, and I have followed multiple guides (they all say the same things) for setting up a print to prevent stringing. I’ve also switched between two filaments (Creality and Amolen) and the stringing doesn’t change at all. I have noticed that when heating up the horned, the filament just oozes out like ectoplasm even before the print starts.

I have never had this problem before, and could use some human advice.

I have upgraded/replaced the following parts in the past:

  1. Bowden Tubes
  2. Printer Nozzles
  3. Dual Gear Extruder
  4. Heater Block
  5. Heater Cartridge
  6. Thermistor Temp Sensor

Make sure your filament is dry.. It can make a big difference for stringing.

Since my oven can only go as low as 75°C, I ordered a filament dryer. 😠

Stupid oven.

Anytime I take a spool off the printer I put it back in the filament dryer. Once it's done it goes in a sealed bag with dessicant. This keeps the filament dry and prevents stringing.

Also don't use your food oven for plastic anyway.

I mean if you have a heated bed that works.
