Flashforge Finder always stringing

Hey guys! So I've been messing around with different profiles for the Flashforge Finder for quite a while, including the original profile, but I always manage to get really stringy prints, and it is very annoying because it even strings in small locations where I can't remove the strings.
I would like to get almost a "string-free" print, would be so much nicer. I mean, a 3d printer should be able to print without stringing all the time right?...

So here is my profile I'm currently using, and I'm using white HT-PLA running on the companys recommended degrees. As I said, it's the Flashforge Finder printer.

Please someone help me with this, it's driving me crazy with all the strings all the time!

Thank you so much in advance,
Joakim.

It might help if you posted a photo of one of your prints

Is there a specifiy reason why you always ignore the fact that ppl are asking for a picture? :roll:

Have you tweaked the profile for a testprint? You have some pretty strange temp settings for a "normal" setting.

Eww. Are you overextruding a bit? Your brim also look kind of strange (very blobby).

And that was printed with the profile I gave you? (btw. you can set the "extrusion width" to "auto" again. S3D V4 seems to handle that better now. I forgot to switch it back before I gave you the profile)

Yeah I'm using your profile @darKing .. so does overextruding cause stringing aswell? How can I fix this then? I have tried the default Flashforge Finder profile but it looks really bad tbh... I thought this software was going to be simple to use like just pick the default profile and get good prints..
Any tips anyone?

Well... I did get decent prints with the default, and then I tweaked a little bit. But the default PLA profile worked pretty good for me. However, every Material is a little bit different.

Did you also print one of those test-prints I gave you? (the links to thingyverse). Your profile certainly indicates that. Can you make a photo of those?

Did you manage to get this resolved? I am having similar issues.
