Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify problem with zero retraction distance
Zero distance means filament is not pulled back, causing oozing and stringing.Step 2: Correct action to reduce stringing
Increasing retraction distance pulls filament back, stopping oozing and reducing stringing.Final Answer:
Increase retraction distance to pull filament back -> Option CQuick Check:
Zero retraction causes stringing; increase distance to fix [OK]
Quick Trick: Zero retraction causes stringing; increase distance [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Only lowering temperature without adjusting retraction
- Increasing speed without fixing retraction
- Disabling retraction thinking it helps
