I can’t add anything concerning stringing that the other comment didn’t already cover, so I’ll ask about the gaps.
Have you tried upping the flow rate to fill them in? The other option I’ve used in the past was lowering my Z Offset if the flow was alright.
Keep in mind that changing your flow rate will likely also cause you have to mess with your retraction settings again.
Same! After mine broke I bounced between Samsung and Garmin before landing in a feñix 6 pro sapphire. Battery life is amazing. Watch faces are configurable and Garmin has an application that allows you to build your own faces if you have the time/inclination. And it’s damn near indestructible. Going on 3 years daily wear and it still looks like it could be new. Check out the black Friday deals.
