  I’m going to make the assumption that is PETG you are working with. I had cobwebs like that when I tried moving over from doing PLA. There were a few things I had to work out to get better prints.

  1. Slow down the print speed and work up once you get acceptable prints. Try 40 to 50mm/s to start.
  2. Increase filament retraction. Default I think is like 0.2mm, try 1.0mm instead.
  3. Increase the travel speed. I’ve used 350mm/s, which helps break strings, as someone else already suggested.
  4. Drop the extruder temperature. PETG gets more stringy as it gets hotter. Lower temp may help, and if you aren’t trying to print at warp speed, bonding should still be good. Do small test prints to see where your cutoff is. Also, if the cooling fan on that Sovol is a bit anemic then printing cooler lets each layer solidify before the next one gets added. Hopefully you get things worked out, good luck.

  It’s a dual drive redundant setup. Unless something catastrophic happens, I doubt both drives will go out at the same time. I could do an offsite backup as well, but just haven’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Photos Alternative⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Been using a Synology NAS for the past year for automatic photo backups. Take a photo, it gets copied to my drive at home so long as there’s internet access available. No issues so far. Turned off my backups to Google.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We have had guns for 200 years but mass shootings only became common in the last 30. So what changed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The NRA has a bloody hand in promoting this culture. Decades of escalating fearmongering brought them members, money, and political influence. It also took them far off course from their original goals promoting safety and responsibility. They now exist solely to promote more firearms sales at any cost, and actively push legislation against any attempts to regulate ownership. I enjoy going to the range once in a while to do some target shooting, and used to hunt years ago, but will never be a NRA member. I have no respect for this organization and what they’ve become.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has HP printers always been this bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In the 80s and 90s HP printers were great. They just worked, even in rough dirty manufacturing environments. You could just about drop kick one, and it would still print out a page for you. Now they’re crap. The investment firm that owns the brand is past beating the dead horse, now trying to squeeze every last dollar out of the carcas.

  Thanks, I’ll look for a copy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite programming language?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Logo. 🐢

  Yeah, not really a programmer. Logo and Basic were pretty much the extent of my learning as a kid back in the early 80’s. Wouldn’t mind getting into python if I had some spare time. Keep coming across stuff where being able to do python scripting would be useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What quality PLA filament brand have you standardized on?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve really like the Overture PLA Plus that I’ve used so far. Makes nice prints with fine details. Threads on a support stand screw came out much better I expected. Using an Ender 3 S1 Pro with the 0.4mm tip. Just got a roll of Polymaker PLA Pro in the mail today actually, hoping I have time to try it this weekend. Expecting good things from it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What show took you the longest to get into?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  West Wing. When it came out years ago, (24 actually…) I saw a couple episodes and it didn’t interest me. But about 8 years ago I ended up watching every episode on Netflix and loved it. But wow, if I had to slog through to season 4 of a show to enjoy it, I would never get there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this a left or right in swing exterior door?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Right hand inswing. If you were standing outside to open the door, it would swing inward to the right.
