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
Keep in kind some filament may be humid out of the box. You can try different methods of drying it for now, but I’d really recommend getting a dryer when you can.
