Aside from drying, here are some thoughts:
Double-check the print temperature, PETG should be about 240-ish. Also the spiral vase mode may be the issue if your model isn't designed for it. Also check your z offset, the first layer should be almost a flawless sheet... if not, stop the print and try again while live adjusting the z until it's correct. Typically PETG doesn't like to be squished down as much as PLA.
Update: replaced the nozzle, heat block (heating element, sensor, PTFE) and fan duct. Did two new temp towers:
Left tower is 235 (top) to 260 (layers labeled 280-260 are all 260). Right is 220-240.

I definitely feel like 220 is the right temp for this.
I’ll try the bunny again, the model is designed for vase mode, so it should work!
You could also mess with your retraction settings to try and reduce stringing.
I had one weird roll of PETG that could only be printed at lower temperatures, so it's possible. Still looks like the filament is wet to me... I recommend picking up a Sunlu S1 Plus when it drops under $40, I like being able to both dry the spool and print straight from the dryer (only takes a couple hours to re-absorb moisture).
Dude! I just checked AliExpress for the Sunlu S1 Plus when I saw your message and was able to get one for $39 (shipped from Germany)! Thank you for that idea!
Make sure it's from one of Sunlu's official stores... aliexpressis pretty shady lol.
It is 😊 they had a coupon deal to make it that cheap
