A word to the wise...
When you print a spiral vase and disable retraction, make sure you enable it when you slice something new...
The interesting thing is that it seems like I'd be able to bridge that distance (6.5") had I wanted to...
Trimmer line with .6mm nozzle, .45 layer height

Strings with trimmer line are an evil unlike any other filament.

So, what retraction settings do you use anyway? Since you brought it up...
