PETG has always been more fraught than PLA for me but as of late it just looks like a mess.

I’m just trying to do calibration at this point and I’m getting this mess on the pressure advance test in Orca Slicer.

I get so much stringing, boogers, and just terrible prints. It didn’t used to be this bad. Any tips?

I’m using a Snapmaker Artisan.

    PLA worked fine. I just bought and loaded some new PETG btw and it prints pretty well so I think everyone is right that the filament is just really old/wet.

    Threw 80 bucks out to get a dryer.

      Probably a good idea long term, my region is semi-arid and I still find I need it from time to time
