How do I set up my file for the Original Prusa MK4?
Drop it here. It opens in Convert with the Original Prusa MK4 and Prusament PLA picked, and nothing converts until you click Convert.
Why is my PLA stringing?
Try 5 to 10 °C below the 215 °C that Prusament 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 PrusaSlicer ships, read at PrusaSlicer 2.9.6 profiles (3f2935e). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
