I got results kinda like that before when I tried a Volcano on an old Bowden style printer and printing wet PETG… Tons of oozing.

Well, the PETG is brand new and I use a heated chamber for the filament, so I really hope this is not the case. But as the setup sits in a basement, I’ll try to check that, too.

Do not underestimate PETG’s moisture absodbage it can also get too wet (theoretically, personally hasn’t happened but I don’t keep my filament for long before printing) if it is even sealed as most bags aren’t 100% airtight IIRC.

That is true. That is why I bought that filament drying chamber. I’ll keep an eye on that.

Did you listen to it print? If it’s really wet sometimes you can hear a cracking sound as the moisture boils off. It causes little steam pops, which also result in that scrappy surface finish.
