I do watch my enclosure temp and if it's below 70f it nothing sticks.
Most days I stick a small space heater in font of the printer for a few minutes to get things up to temp.
Also a partial nozzel clog can create problems.
Try heating up with loading filament after it starts extruding go to unloading pull the filament out and reload the filament.
I find this can help on minor clogs.
Your sure the other nozzle not dragging into the print?

How do you monitor the enclosure temperature? Just a simple thermometer?

I have one of these.

Can someone share their PETG settings? I'm printing on a glass bed and having some issues getting it to stick, and when it does I get a lot of stringing. help?!

Nozzle temp 226-230c
Bed temp around 110c

I have played with the setting alot on PETG, and have gotten some exeptional prints, but still with some strings.
I'm guessing its just stringy stuff, as anything below 226 or so and I get the telltale 'to cold' globs.

Extrude temps 235c to 260c depending on MFG. Build plate at 70c and retraction to 2.25.

Thanks guys, I'll play with these setting. Do you run the Bed Fan when printing with PETG?

Not really needed.

110c is hotter then needed for glass. I have no problems at 70c. If you want to eliminate stringing turn up the retraction rate

Maybe this will help illustrate some of the issues I'm having. The Black model(PETG) prints fine until it gets to the "stack" and then it seems to go off the rails. The White model (ABS) is almost identical and holds it's shape in ABS. Would retraction help keep the stack vertical and smooth or is there something else you would suggest I alter in the settings?
