I’m having stringing issues with my CR-10 mini during time lapse, when my nozzle leaves the print to engage the camera remote it leaves a string as well on the way back to the print, during normal prints my retraction is dialed in but for the life of me i can not figure this one out any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes this is a problem with using the various time-lapse options for 3d printers. I have tried the versions that run on Optoprint and stopped using them because they both cause stringing and also reduce layer adhesion.
