I have been using abs mostly and living with the curls. Now I am getting back into PLA again. And yes, it definitely is glossier than ABS.
And I really really like how PLA doesn't curl. But I get strings.
I am at 215C at the nozzle and 60C on the bed.
I am printing at .25 layer height at a speed of 24. I am retracting to 8 mm. It was originally set to 6.
Why am I getting strings? Is the nozzle still too hot? I guess I need to do some testing before I make anything else.
You guys who love PLA, (ca) what are your temperatures, distances, and speeds? I know it's a little different for different machines and filaments, but give me a starting point please.
