Small test prints looked ok, complex and larger prints show many issues?
Hello community,
RE: Small test prints looked ok, complex and larger prints show many issues?
Actually, could it be the nozzle being clogged already, after 6-8 prints of smaller calibration items?

Your first layer appears to be a little too squished. This can force adjacent plastic sideways thus stressing first layer adhesion.
PETG stringing is not too bad, light tweaking of working temperatures might help but light sanding or a brief post-process blast from a heat gun will get rid of most of it.
As a general rule increase size and complexity of your prints slowly over time as you gain experience and refine your tuning/calibration.
Your settings are already better adjusted than many of the beginner problems we see here, you are on your way. Keep at it, practice and experience will accrue from now on; but do feel free to come back as you encounter new issues.
Cheerio,
