Hey guys here is the next problem. Thanks for all of your help in advance!

Im trying to reduce my stringing.

My nozzle temp in this picture is 185 degrees C. I can hear the nozzle squeeking slightly as if the filament isnt hot enough to flow smoothly. I dont want to go any lower than that.
Retraction settings are 3mm retraction length @ 80mm/s.

Id say judging by the print im not getting any retraction at all, but when i watch the print in action i can see the body of the motor kick slightly when it spins the opposite direction to retract.

if it's a Bowden set up you will need more retraction, I think 5mm is a good starting point. If it is direct, play with retraction speed, start at 20 and see what happens.

Did you check if you can extrude and retract at those speeds?
I would try a lower speed and as said above, for a bowden you need more.

Mine can't retract faster than 35 mm/s. It will squeel at higher speeds.
