<p>I'm having a &quot;minor&quot; stringing issue, where I'm only getting stringing in helpers/support and infill area.</p>
<p>Background: Calibrating printer with 1 roll of PLA. Still getting minimal stringing, but mainly, stringing in helpers/support and infill areas. Tried different temps, but didn't seem to affect this.</p>
<p>Suspect some kind of slicer optimization settings? I mean, it's logical to not care about how pretty supports &amp; infill look.</p>
<p>I would like to understand why this is happening.
Please point me to the right direction.
Thanks in advance.</p>

Lowering <em>Max Comb Distance With No Retract</em> to something very low (150-200% of the nozzle width, so like 0.8 mm) should make this problem go away, but at some nontrivial cost to print time. If you make this change, you almost surely need <em>Zig-zaggify Infill</em> enabled if you want to avoid very high cost to print time and excessive retractions.</p>\n"}]
