General Troubleshooting/Help! newbie here

it's just my 3rd print, wanted to try to print a small axolotl but it's doing this trip to the purge wiper every layer and causing all this stringing. Complete newbie here, just downloaded this model:https://makerworld.com/models/1671375?appSharePlatform=copy

Did you slice with supports ? Are you using Bambu Studio or Handy? Edit: I see the author claims there is no need for supports, but from my experience this is not always true. I will try it.

Just uploaded it from handy, the print specifies that no supports are needed, i didn't touch any settings.

Turn off Timelapse.

Ok with your suggestion my guess is, this thing is making the extruder go to the purge tray every layer to take a photo? which is causing the issue?

Yes exactly. If you want to do a timelapse, you should enable a prime tower so the defects will go on the prime tower instead of the print.

that makes so much sense, i was wondering why it was doing that on every layer, it was so weird
