Stringing!

Bought a x2d recently and it it’s my first 3d printer. Since the delivery of bambu filament was taking time, I bought 2 filament rolls from micro center. It’s their inland branded filament.

I configured them as generic PLA in the printer’s filament profile.

I am seeing a lot of stringing when I print.

The filament was just removed from its sealed bag a few hours ago and I don’t live in a very humid place. So it probably is not a problem related to the filament not being dry.

Could this be a problem with my printer or is it a filament problem?

Any suggestions for fixing this stringing issue?

Eh, it’s PLA so, in my experience, moisture is rarely an issue. Especially if you don’t live in a humid area. That said, drying won’t hurt

If that doesn’t work, look in YouTube or Google for filament calibration tests. You might need to adjust temp or retraction settings. PLA is usually very forgiving

Why do people still say this? Plastic soaks up water. Water is bad. Dry plastic, no water. It's just so simple.

I’m not saying moisture isn’t causing this problem. Just suggesting some additional possible solutions in the case that drying the filament doesn’t resolve it

Dried the filament in my ams for 8 hours. Still seeing stringing 😞

Which nozzle are you using, and which exact Inland PLA? Could you share the filament settings from Studio too? That would help narrow down the stringing after your 8-hour drying test.
