New 3d printer

[RainbowsParticipant @rainbows]

My first printer was a cheap chinese rerap thingy with MDF, was dead on arrival. Worse investment than a super adept.

My new (to me) Wanhao 5S arrived a few days ago, just got the chance to use it last night.

 

Didn't think it was too bad for right out the box on the coarse setting.

There are quite a few stringy bits poking horizontally where the extruder has had to go between different parts of the print over a gap. Is this a thing I just have to deal with or is there a way to tune it out? It won't be much effort to debur with a scalpel I think but was wanted to check if its an issue in the printer.

You need to increase retraction.

What slicing program does it come with?

Using Wanhao Maker, the documentation is uhh pretty scarce. Will have to have a click about to find retraction.
