I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this. I’m having an issue with my Sovol SV06, which is that I get a lot of stringing. I’m still fairly new to 3D printing, so I have no idea what could cause this and how I could go about fixing this. I already searched for this issue online btw but didn’t really find anything helpful.

The only change I made to this printer is that I hooked up a Raspberry Pi 4 to it and installed Klipper and Octoprint. I’m also using PrusaSlicer with the config from here.

Edit: Forgot to mention I was using PLA for this print

    I already tried increasing the retraction length but it didn’t help. I have it at 0.5 mm now and I read online that Sovol recommends not going above that. Someone else also recommended drying the filament, so I’m going to try that. I don’t know what the glassing temperature is but it’s PLA, do you know what a safe temperature would be?

      It’s going to depend on the brand, prusa recommends 45c I’ve done at 55 and while it printed fine, don’t recommend that, PLA has a fairly low glass transition temp and that was right on the low end of where that starts.
