If a PETG print shows stringing and oozing, what is the most likely cause?
medium📝 Conceptual Q5 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify causes of stringing in PETG
High printing temperature causes filament to ooze and string between parts.Step 2: Analyze options
Low temperature usually causes poor layer adhesion, bed temp affects adhesion not stringing, nozzle size affects flow but not stringing directly.Final Answer:
Printing temperature too high -> Option AQuick Check:
Stringing cause = B [OK]
Quick Trick: Lower temperature to reduce PETG stringing [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Increasing temperature to fix stringing
- Ignoring bed temperature effects
- Blaming nozzle size incorrectly
