    I've been having trouble recently with stringy prints. When I print things, I get little strings between the segments. I've attached a photo. It's been getting worse and worse. I tried messing with the temperature (up and down) and I've also tried increasing some of the retraction values. Any ideas?

    To control stringing you need to decrease heat, increase retraction, and keep the retraction speed relatively high. The deprime test object is great for tuning your printer for stringing. The biggest challenge here is that each roll of filament will be a little different.
