I relearned something important over the Christmas break that I had forgotten. The word “At.” All of your settings only apply at specific temperature, retract settings, etc.

I increased my temperature, but didn’t change anything else. I know better, but I did it anyway. Oh well. Sometimes it takes a few times to learn a lesson. My print started stringing like crazy. The science of what was happening is simple in hindsight. I had all of my retraction set up for a particular printing speed, specific extrusion values, temperatures, retraction settings, etc. When I increased the temperature, it created a situation where my filament became more molten so it was oozing out of the nozzle and stringing everywhere.

I needed to tune my printer to the new settings. Live and (re)learn.
