Printing issues galore. Stringing, blobbing, and all manner of weirdness

[airscapes]

can't see any pictures but Esun PETG prints at 230C. PETG also needs to be dry so you may need to run it in a food dehydrator for 6-8 hours. But normally even dry PETG will bubbles and pop if printed too hot.
Switch to prusaslice and don't waste time learning cura

No images? That's weird. It looks like the imgur links are just fine, but I'll try attaching them directly.

While I want to switch to PrusaSlicer, as my first post said, it gave me atrocious print quality with what, as far as I can tell, are the same settings that worked fine (mostly) in Cura. I'm printing at 235° with a 70° bed. I've calibrated the hotend PID, extrusion steps, and everything worked pretty well with my first roll of filament. I've got the new roll drying in my dehydrator in case that's the solution.


The order of the pictures is good Cura print, good Cura print, bad Cura print, bad Prusaslicer print.

OK. I'm now sure that it's definitely a slicer issue. After another dozen or so test prints I've yet to get a good print from PrusaSlicer and get nothing but good prints from Cura. There must be some setting that I'm missing. With the same roll of filament I got a great print from Cura and then 3 from PrusaSlicer that made it through the bottom skin and failed at the infill (picture below).

I'm stumped, since I've looked at every setting in both slicers, and as far as I can tell they're all exactly the same. If anyone is so inclined, I've attached my print settings for both programs for someone with more experience than me to take a look at. I'm sure there's a simple solution here, I just don't know enough yet to find it.

I'm more intrigued at what you 'have' done to not get 'nothing but good prints after getting rubbish prints
please tell us..
