PETG has always been more fraught than PLA for me but as of late it just looks like a mess.

I'm just trying to do calibration at this point and I'm getting this mess on the pressure advance test in Orca Slicer.

I get so much stringing, boogers, and just terrible prints. It didn't used to be this bad. Any tips?

I'm using a Snapmaker Artisan.

It's a few months old. I have printed with it before and while it was never perfect it was never this bad. I'll have to get back to you on a temp tower. I have one around somewhere.

I suggest printing a fresh temp tower. My bet is that temperature or retraction is off (have you fiddled with retraction lately) or the filament is super wet.
