What temp and material are you printing with? Sometimes sheep material will give you a bad end product. Try reducing your extruder temp and razing you retraction settings a bit. That should get rid of most stringing.
For the cost of a smart extruder I ended up replacing with a Chinese prusa copy and. Ever looked back.
Better quality and not outrageous prices for parts.
Simplify3D will let you tweak just about everything you can imagine on your printer. I was able to overcome 90% of my stringing issues vai retraction settings, and temp control.
Worth the investment.
try decreasing temperature by like 10C and increase retraction under custom/extruder to like 1.7mm
best
sounds like a normal makerbot responce send us your money. try dropping temps to 195 and adding say 8 9 mm of retraction may seem alot but makerbots are prone to this mess or so i found with my 5th gen …There are much better printers out there for around the 400 $ the cost of a smart extruder alone mark u wont have stringing issues can print bigger with no warping with a heated bed … My cr 10 is far better than my 5th gen in every way and 2k+ cheaper. thingiverse retraction test to try and dial your machine in .Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects 8
did you check the filament diam? looks like a lot of over extruding and too much heat.measure the filament diameter from 3 or more spots and put the average of those sizes as your filament diameter. hope this helps
Not enough retraction going on. Try to also check a flag like “dont cross perimeters during travels” or something like that.
