My DIY mini kossel delta printer (Bowden extrude, 1.75mm) has a print quality issue. It has a annoying "String/Blobs" effect which make the surface not smooth. Why? How can I fix this?
Please find attached the #1. print out with mark to those ugly ball ball surface & #2. my hot-end setup for reference
Cheers,
Willy

I found two things that did that on mine:
1) Too hot
2) Trying to run a graphic controller on a delta with an Arduino Mega - it caused movement too stutter, and every stutter was a blem . . .

Thx Tim!
FYI. I did a POC and found the root cause just now. The root cause is about my Arduino Mega 2560 MKS Gen V1.3 board not powerful enough to drive 12864 LCD together with complex 3D model print process. My POC was to disable the LCD feature in Marlin firmware and print same model again with my MacBook Pro instead of PC-less direct print via SDcard.

Not sure if 32-bit board can offer extra power for any other best feature but my string issue is solved after I changed over to "RepRapDiscount Smart Controller"

For what it's worth, you can enable SD card support and not the LCD, you just need tomsta5t SD card jobs from your computer . . .
