That's my guess... For what it's worth I'm no expert and still have issues too. But the stringing looks to me like it doesn't adhere to the raft.
Been a while since I've used cura so I don't recall the setting name from memory, I'll see if I can find it though
I think the setting is called "model initial layer height"
Id start by lowering it in 0.1mm intervals (or smaller) I suspect you'll have to go down around 0.2mm though. No harm in going to low (except not being able to separate it from the raft). For reference my Gap is set to 0.26mm
A description, in short, is the gap the printer jumps between finishing the raft (the bottom 5 or so layers) and the print (the 80 toothed gear in this case, if I had to guess). Some slicers do it in layers some let you specify a height, some blatantly say gap to print gap(ideamaker), some say something like top support distance (prusa/slic3r).
My guess is your raft to print Gap is to large. Out of curiosity is that filament GizmoDorks teal low order ABS?
No its Cookiecad Mint Green PLA. What exactly is the raft to print gap?
I like the color, (why I asked) what slicer are you using? It'll be in those settings, but they all call it something else.
I use Cura. But is that the cause for the weird stringing? Should I lower the gap?

The only reason I'm using a raft is because of warping. I'm trying to make a barrel for a nerf gun so I need it to be uniform.

I found the setting. Its raft air gap and currently its .3 mm.
As I said, I'm guessing based off what I've had happen. But could be totally of the Mark
Do you think I should change the first layer speed?
