Hi everyone,

I use a CR-10 with Hatchbox PLA at 205 C. I have printed many objects with Craftware, but I can’t help to notice that the filament sometimes leaks out during far travel, even with my retraction settings dialed in. I have printed retraction tests, and those prove that my settings are fine. I was just wondering this is happening because I have my temperature set too high or if there is some setting that I’m overlooking.

Keep dropping the temp 5 degrees at a time and see how it does. I have printed Hatchbox at 190. Also some colors string more than others and this kind of extruder move all the way across an open space is prime for stringing.

180 travel speed seems high to me. looks like your dragging the filament
