How do I set up my file for the Creality Ender-3?
Drop it here. It opens in Convert with the Creality Ender-3 and Generic PLA picked, and nothing converts until you click Convert.
Why is my PLA stringing?
Try 5 to 10 °C below the 200 °C that Generic PLA sets, since a cooler nozzle strings less (Prusa Knowledge Base). A spool that has taken on moisture strings badly, so try a dry one (Prusa Knowledge Base).
Where do these values come from?
From the profiles Cura ships, read at Cura main (42dbd93). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
