Petg Print Strining

Hello I'm having problems with strining on my Mk3s+, the filament is the Prusament Petg freshly dried, I've increased the retraction from 0.8 to 1.7 and lowered the temperature from 250 to 240, unfortunately with little success so far. Can anybody help me further?

Clean them off and sand it a bit.  Annoying, but not a show stopper.

i"ve lowered my PETG down to as low as 220. I found 250 very high with my PETG.. Generally I don't print above 230 and I print a lot of PETG. Printing a temp tower with spikes to view stringing is a good way to dial in a filament.

@xreptor - that *is* a stringing torture test ... pretty good I'd say, a quick waft with a heat gun will clear that.

@nickatnight - but you know you have damp filament...

Cheerio,
