It sounds like you've already done some troubleshooting steps, which is great. Since you're still experiencing stringing, here are a few more things you can try:

1. Check your retraction settings: Increase the retraction distance and speed in small increments to see if that helps reduce stringing.

2. Clean your hotend and nozzle: Sometimes old filament or debris can cause stringing. Heat up the hotend, remove the filament, and use a nozzle cleaning needle to clear any clogs.

3. Calibrate your extruder: Make sure that your extruder is properly calibrated to ensure the right amount of filament is being extruded.

4. Experiment with different print speeds: Sometimes printing slower can help reduce stringing.

5. Consider trying a different brand of filament: Some filaments are more prone to stringing than others, so it's worth experimenting with different brands to see if that makes a difference.

If after trying these steps you're still experiencing stringing issues, it may be wort...
