    Hanging threads on verticals

    Printing half of a stand to hold RC cars. I have printed the same file before with out issues but with a different filament, didn't have the issue. As you can see on the uprights there's strings hanging off. This is the 1st time I have seen this, had the fine hair like strands at times but nothing like this.






    Printer: Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus
    Filament: Dazzle Light PLA
    Temp: 210
    Bed temp 60
    Speed 60
    Slicer Cura 3.04

    To me it looks like it's travelling while still extruding if so what could be causing this?

    You are dripping filament while traveling, You can "enable retraction" and enable the Z hop to help eliminate this.

    My Setting are
    Minimum Travel (mm) 1.5
    Enable combing All
    Minimal extrusion before retracting (mm) .1
    Z hop when retracting (mm) .075
