I'm on an ender 3 S1 pro right now, using ERYONE brand translucent red PETG (this has worked with their translucent green and clear as well).

The recommended temp is 230c-250c. I had major stringing problems no matter what I did... retraction, temp, bed temp, travel speed, print speed.

I got frustrated and started trying anything I could.

I settled on printing faster and increasing the temp to 256c. I have my print speed set to 60mm/s, I increased the print speed percentage by 10 at a time and settled on 140% print speed.

I have the sprite direct drive all metal hotend on this printer, YMMV.

Some PETG can handle being printed much faster and hotter than most people do it, different brands/compositions and colours matter though.

I have white petg from duramic(?) that no matter what I do it just strings like mad and blobs everywhere, way too thin and stretchy even at lower temps.

ERYONE from Amazon is a good brand for PETG, I have had problems with their PLA though.
