Been using prusaslicers default PLA profile with issues and this is my first roll of PETG, so I just selected the corresponding profile for that.

It seems so be super stringy whenever there’s movement and when printing the bunny (in vase mode) there’s lots of holes in the model.

I’m not sure if this is an issue with calibration (didn’t do anything when switching from PLA) or if the filament is wet.

    My vote is a combo but it includes being wet, is this a new roll or if not how did you have it stored? I have found PETG to be much more finicky with moisture than PLA overall so if you have a way to dry it definitely try that and see what happens before trying to calibrate it.

      Brand new roll. I unfortunately don’t have any way to dry it :(

        I would try what that other person said, that’s a great idea!

        Anecdotally, I actually just got through half of a brand new roll today that I opened two days ago and it has been printing from a dry box and it started spattering from trapped moisture (you will find little chunks of plastic on your bed in past experience) so it’s in the dryer now haha.

        Hope it works out!

        ETA: I live in CO, USA and the humidity in the room where the printer is currently reads 70.4F/50% and the dry box reads 12% for reference, not much for it to soak up from the air.
