Hello, I've been having trouble with dual extrusion lately. For some reason my ooze shields have been coming out TERRIBLY, and the prints have been terrible as a result.

HEre's a dual extrusion Benchy for context. Here it is with the Ooze shield on:




And here is what it looks like sans ooze shield:





As you can see, the ooze shield is in terrible condition, barely holding up in the print at all. I know it's supposed to be weak but it's not supposed to be like THAT. At least as far as I can tell.

Here are my stats:

QIDI Tech 1 3D printer (copy of Flash Forge Creator Pro).

Upgraded both extruders with metal extruders, not the stock extruders.

Here are my settings:






I am wondering if my ooze control settings are somehow affecting the ooze shield. I am using Hatchbox PLA for both extruders. The retraction is so small because of the metal extruders.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
