Utterly horrible stringing

This just started randomly. I’m switching rolls, drying rolls, switching hot ends, nothing works.

This is PLA that was dried at 50 Celsius for two days straight. I’m getting similar results with Blue PETG dried with the same temperature for one day. I’m at my wits end. I would prefer hardware changes instead of slicer settings, as I want to use the default and still get good prints everytime. I will forget to set special settings anyway. Any tips?

I am afraid that with further drying not bringing further benefits, you’ll be pretty stuck with looking at settings.

While a 5-10°C lower nozzle temp is a usual first recommendation, this also affects layer adhesion. So I’d recommend checking the retract and wipe checkboxes in the filament settings first.

For PETG (Basic?), I have have found that it rewards taking time. I slow down printing speeds to 80-120mm/s (Basic, HF) and reduce acccel’s to 25% of defaults. It may seem slower, but having to print twice is slowest :wink:
