     Only what you see on the photo. A few minor strings, comparable to what I also get on an MK3S with this (fairly old) filament.

     I hear some people have issues with stringing though.

     @fribbledom No stringing problems?

     @fribbledom Beautiful. May I ask, does it need the brim? It looks like it would have enough contact with the bed plate even without it.

     I run a MK3S, and won't be planning on upgrading to a MK4 for at least another year. I'm curious to watch the developments in the newer models.

     It starts out with four fairly small islands (the frog's feet), but no, it probably doesn't need a brim. I just didn't want to risk anything, with this being my first print on a brand new self-assembled build.

     I was more interested in the tool changing than the bed adhesion in this test. So far first layers are just beautiful tho.

     Yeah, I saw his video. A bit odd really. The latest slicer and firmware apparently help a great deal, but who knows, it could also have been a misaligned build or a defective part.

     My experience with this kit & machine has been super impressive so far.

     @fribbledom "Teaching Tech" seemed to have an absolute string monster on his hands which is what prompted me to ask.

     Great time to be getting a new machine -- seems like everyone selling filament has some black friday discounts happening. Nothing like a new printer to burn the filament supply down.

     @fribbledom I built my MK3 from a kit in 2017, and added the "S" upgrades later on, and it's been a pretty solid workhorse. The only thing I need to keep an eye on is Z-height and the first layer adhesion, because that shifts ever so slightly with the change in seasons, and I need to spend 20 minutes or so re-calibrating it two or three times a year.

     I'm assuming you're a beta tester on the XL? Please post more about it, if you're able and so inclined.
