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.

You could also mess with your retraction settings to try and reduce stringing.
