PETG strings more than PLA. These are the most common fixes, in order.
- Dry the filament. Moisture is the most common cause of PETG stringing. Dry at 65°C for 8–12 hours. See Drying and storage.
- Calibrate pressure advance. It reduces pressure in the nozzle before travel moves.
- Lower the temperature 5°C at a time. Stay within 245–265°C, and stop if the finish turns matte.
- Tune retraction in small steps, then print a retraction test model to check.
Some fine wisps on travel moves are normal for PETG and brush off easily, or pop off with a quick pass of a heat gun.
