That's terrible! When I think of "stringing", I mean really fine fibres: And printing in PETG[^] which aren't that bad to get rid of - a sharp blade and gentle sanding does the job.
That's PETG though, not PLA - I never got any stringing at all with PLA - running at 215/60, 80 mm/s with retraction 10mm at 60mm/s and a 20% fan speed.

Lowering the printing temperature did not help. When I raise the temperature again, the fibers will not get less, but much finer.

Exactly what I have here. Perhaps I should try your settings. What version of Cura do you use?

4.6.1 - it nags at you until you upgrade just to be able to see the whole object ... 
And I generate the STL from Fusion 360.
Those setting were for YoYi Translucent Blue PETG (Amazon[^]) - in theory they manufacture themselves using European stock so it should be pretty consistent, but they are Chinese, so ...

I got the printer working again, after trying to upgrade Cura. Autodetection of the right port does not work in the new versions and they have removed the option to manually select the port. But the newer versions did have a settings profile for the printer and I simply set up a completely new profile in the old version and copied all settings from the newer version manually.
It's now printing again and it has become a different printer. It has become much faster. The messy print took 16 hours with a layer height of 0,15 mm. The new profile says 12 hours at a layer height of 0,1 mm (!). I had to restart the print because the default infill was far too low and I had forgotten to change it. Now it's printing with far higher infill and 0,15 mm layer height. 9.5 hours now, so we shall see in the morning. And no stringing at all so far!

Excellent! Hope it works out.
Mine finds the printer (on USB) every time without problems. Perhaps you have some other device connected that is confusing things? Just a guess - I'm not a Cura expert.

I have a small USB hub so that I don't have to crawl behind the desk every time I want to plug something in. I think that the USB driver does not like the hub.
The strangest device that once in a while gets plugged into that hub is the T-Rex's gyro, but it never had any problems with the hub or the printers.

There's an opportunity for you here. One of your comments on the images was about the "wood-like texture" after some sanding.

Even more changes to the model. How about a huge baloon to lift it up and large propellers to push it forward instead of rocket engines? The pilots wear suits and top hats. And lots of bolts and rivets on the metal parts. AIR 1899. 
George Lucas always was looking for ideas. It's not a coincidence that 'Space 1999 Eagle' and 'Millenum Falcon' sound somewhat similar.

Saw someone use their Dremel to remove "curb rash" from rims; I need to use mine more (sanding, etc.)

Any of you who've ever started to drink Orange Juice after brushing their teeth has discovered that it was not a great idea and is very much worth not repeating.
I'd always attributed this to the mint component of the toothpaste. I made and error in this by not checking with something like peppermint tea to determine explicitly if mint were to blame - the nasty of the toothpaste induced experience did not encourage such a test.
So this morning I googled for the negative effects of peppermint on the taste of orange juice and found it to be essentially a blank in terms of relevant answers. Then I switched to toothpaste instead of mint and here[^] is the reason.
For persons such as myself, who quaf Orange Juice by the pint, this is an important revelation. The those of you who don't partake, add it to your bar-room trivia

1. Brush teeth
2. Shave (wet)
3. Minty mouthwash
4. Shower
5. Drink OJ, and it tastes fine.

How are shave and shower playing a role here? 
|
|

They increase the time between brushing teeth and drinking juice, thus allowing the taste receptors to get back to normal.
|
|
|
|
|
My "analysis" then, is that you allowed the receptors to return to normal and then had a swig of minty mouthwash for a test?

No, it's just the order in which I do things. I have had dental implants and the mouthwash I was prescribed after the surgery was not effective if used immediately after brushing. So when I returned to 'normal' products I carried on doing things in the same order.

I'm guessing it is all about the time delay.

Shaving and showering your teeth can help remove the taste of toothpaste before you drink the juice.

|
|
Oh I don't shave my teeth.

Stretches out the time between toothpaste and OJ.

Nah, it's definitely cause of the mint flavour. Else why they not invented mint flavoured orange juice yet?
Makes perfect sense right

Now, in hindsight, I could have looked this up but I don't really have an interest in that flavor combination. Chocolate Mint - now that's nice.

Since the acid in the orange juice will rot the teeth, you should use toothpaste after OJ (or most any "juice").

A sensitive issue I know... but as a freelancer, I often get asked by clients / ex-clients if I know of anyone "available" for a particular job (either a project or a permie role). I've tentatively hinted at some of these on here before, but am aware that CP (and the lounge specifically) really isn't the place for this. Any board that provides this tends to get hi-jacked by agencies.
And yes.. I have someone looking for a permie, on-site role south of London...

I can't think of anywhere even vaguely relevant that doesn't get hijacked by lazy incompetent recruiters: look at LinkedIn. We certainly get our share of 'em coming up in moderation.
There is nowhere here on this site I can think of that won't get you tarred with the same brush! And think of it this way: do you really want to be associated with a recommended employee who may look good here, but be a PITA to work with in reality?
My general response to that kind of question is that I can't think of anybody offhand, but I'll ask around.
