I already posted pictures of my dog turning them into chew toys and had to listen to reddit cry. It's in my post history.

Just checked it out, very nice. How did they feel on your feet? Any insights?

My wife refused to wear them so they became dog shoes my daughter is an extra wide in shoes and sadly wouldn't fit in any styles I found without a ton of work. I think they are amazing for what they are and stupid easy to print. Only problem is finding the right ratio to make it fit.

Dry your filament a lot and make sure it's actually dry. Those units tend to hold moisture if you're not careful. I also run a dehumidifier where I print and stay below 25 percent.

I dried it for 12 hours prior to printing, and used a heated dry box the entire print. They were at around 12% RH throughout the entire process.

I would have to assume the stringing is from the filament calibration settings then. I spent time calibrating mine prior to printing sneakers for the first time. I dried way longer than 12 hours and also printed from the drybox. Did you have healthy dehumidifier agent? How is your house humidity? I run a large dehumidifier in the room I print in so the room is sub 25%

No idea. Not a major deal. Just clicked print. Then pulled the string away with my fingers. Was painless.

Oh yeah, go on a pc, open bambu lab, go to the calibration setting and click the "manual calibration" button. Google ranges for the filament you are using so you don't waste time searching ranges that will be bad, slowly tune it. Youtube filament calibration bambu and you'll be done it in under an hour. After that you can use your phone to do the printing by using the calibrated option and disable flow calibration since itll already be fine tuned. This will remove all the stringing and make the mesh look a lot better.
