Should i worry? Any suggestions for a fix? Didnt find anything because i dont know what search terms to use…

Edit: Thanks for your responses. I talked to my brother, he told me the retraction speed was too slow (25mm/s), i changed it to 40mm/s and realized i activated the wrong printer profile. Silly me. Ill do a test print now. Ill look into your suggestions if this wont help.

    This is oozing. It’s a subset of stringing. It’s related but not exactly the wispy stuff you’re gonna commonly see. This isn’t plastic still connected to the part as the nozzle moves away. This is from plastic that continued to ooze out after the retraction and it builds up on the receiving part. They’re angled like lightning bc the first blob is on the part, the second blob is on the first, etc, etc.

    It’s kind of solved similarly to stringing! In addition to what @tonyn@lemmy.ml linked, I’ve also used Coasting in Cura. Prusa Slicer doesn’t have an exact analog to coasting. Coasting helps more when you have a bowden tube than a direct drive.
