@tinx I have thought I may need to get a drying box. I know they are inexpensive. I’ll look into doing it with an oven though. My current prints are looking stringy with freshly opened filament 🥲.

@cinderdazzle612 yes, it sometimes happens that the fresh filament is not properly dried. But there are other factors as well: PETG is more prone to stringing compared to PLA. It is very important not to dry the filament in an excessively hot environment. I think you should dry PLA, for example, at or below 45°C. Otherwise you might end up with a blob of fused plastic.
