Hi I'm new to this forum and is seeking help on a very frustrating stringing problem. Closer inspection points to the fact that when printing multiple (separate parts) at the same time, the filament doesn't retract some of the time when traveling between the parts causing severe stringing between the separate parts. I've included pictures to show this. I've monitored the printer closely to find that retraction works fairly well within the individual part. The problem appears to be intermittent during travel between parts. After I completed the parts in the picture, I've printed two stringing test posts on the same print right away using the same slicer settings below. As you can see in the second picture, there is no stringing between the posts. The stringing happens when traveling to the 2nd set of tests posts. Again, I've visually confirmed by watching the extruder gear that the retraction within the individual part works most of the time, and works only some of the times during traveling between the separate parts. I also confirmed this by using the same exact settings and just one set of stringing test posts and there is no string at all between the posts. It looked really good.


I am using a Creality CR10S-Pro V2 and Cura slicer 4.7.1.

I've tried many settings but none solved this issue. The settings I'm using which provided a slightly better results in the pictures is below.
Layer: 0.15
Print temp:185c
Bed temp:60
Print speed:35mm/s (tried faster and stringing problem is the same)
Travel Speed:180mm/s (tried slower, no difference)
Retraction:6mm (tried 7mm and 5mm, no difference)
Retraction speed:60mm/s (tried 80mm/s, caused broken filament)
Retraction minimum travel:5mm
Max Retraction Count:10
Minimum Extrusion Distance Window:6mm
Combing Mode: off (tried every setting but stringing only gets worse unless is off)
Z Hop When Retracted: yes
Z Hop Height 0.2mm
