Looks like it! I had initially discounted the possibility due to the newness of the filament but it is pretty much the only thing left I guess. Thanks!

Thanks! I had printed a temp and retraction tower when I first got the printer and used those to get to 190deg 4.5mm@40mm/s. However from the other comments it looks like wet filament might be the issue.

Thanks! I had, used the pressure advance tower from the klipper wiki. It did help with bulging corners a bit at 0.250s.

I haven’t shown them, but I did print a temp tower and retraction tower when I first got the printer, which is how I got my initial 190deg, 4.5mm@40mm/s settings and those worked until I flashed Klipper. Now it seems that flashing may correlate with the filament having gotten wet.

The pla being wet is probably the only real possibility left at this point. I’m going to try and dry it today, thanks!

[-] Zsub@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I haven’t yet! I’ll look up how to dry it, thanks!

Thanks! I have it on, but already at 0.2. I did try a print with it disabled and made no perceivable difference.

Hi all, I have bought a second hand Creality Ender 5 pro. So far so good. I checked the belts, tightened the bolts (where needed) and successfully ran it for a week before deciding "you know what this printer needs? Klipper firmware." So off I went and installed Klipper.

Ran though all the requisite calibrations, so now the extruder extrudes 50 mm (+/- about 0.2mm) when I ask it to, my calibration cubes measure exactly 20 x 20 x 20 mm with less than 0.1mm deviation. PID tuning for hot end and the bed. But the stringing. The stringing!

The filament is 3DJake ecoPLA that I opened two weeks ago.

See picture attached (and apologies for miswriting the ^2, I had misremembered). Temperature, retraction, it doesn't matter. With stock firmware the retraction worked well at around 4.5mm retraction at 40mm/s. I can't get the stringing to stop here at like 80mm/s and 8mm of retraction and I am at my wits end.

I would greatly appreciate any pointers you guys might have for me!
