Massiv stringing at A30M

Hi,

Is this normal for a A30M? I have stringing Problems.

Any Ideas?

Black plastics is most problematic one.

Try my profile for A10M, propably you need to change build size and zero position .

For PEI sheet delete line from gcode setup
G1 X12 Y5 Z0 F300 ; stop leaking hotend
otherwise your PEI sheet will have burned hole at zero position.
A10M Slic3r profile: here and fresh on github (lot of tips here)
A10 Slic3r profile: here
TIP: tight all screws and wheels (except right side of Z axis) and re-align frame while assembly. And silence it.

Hello,

as just described unfortunately no improvements.
I have now used Cura, Slic3r and Simplify. Unfortunately the quality of the pictures has gotten worse again. The stringing is almost everywhere identical.

I have now checked several temperatures, several variations of the E-Steps, different filaments and different parameters.

Is there an update for the printer? Are there any settings on the firmware that I don't know?

Hi, You can view your retraction settings:
Reference range: retraction distance: 3-4;
retraction speed 30-40mm / s.

I have also tried to use the retraction values to make a change. Unfortunately I did not succeed in improving this.

What astonishes me...why are the E-Steps on the A30M configured to 407 at the factory? Otherwise the value was always around 430?

Are there maybe other parameters wrong?

:D Hi, Regarding esteps you can adjust as needed,

Then the retraction setting can be increased,
The retraction distance is set to 6,
Printing speed is slower: 30-60mm / s;
Black supplies are more sensitive to temperature,
You can try to lower the printing temperature by 5-10 °.

It could be other thing - it could be due bad fittings od loose PTFE tube.

I have read in many articles that "stringing" and print quality is a general problem of Geeetech printers.

I have also gone through almost all recommendations of the users. From filament to slicer to parameters.
Everything had a corresponding effect. But never what I expect from a printer in this price range.
To give you a small overview of my prints I have attached a picture.

@Jarda3d: I also use your Slic3r Profil. No Changes

I followed a calibration where I printed four 1cm cubes spaced 10mm, 20mm and 40mm apart. I started with a travel speed of 50mm/s and retraction of 0mm. I then printed them increasing the travel speed by 30mm, keeping the retraction at 0mm. Eventually got to 150mm/s and I think this maxed out the speed of the A30M. The stringing was greatly reduced. Then I reprinted increased the retraction in steps of 1mm. I ended up at 5mm retraction where there was no more improvement.
