I am using an Ender 3 Pro v2, and I have followed multiple guides (they all say the same things) for setting up a print to prevent stringing. I’ve also switched between two filaments (Creality and Amolen) and the stringing doesn’t change at all. I have noticed that when heating up the horned, the filament just oozes out like ectoplasm even before the print starts.

I have never had this problem before, and could use some human advice.

I have upgraded/replaced the following parts in the past:

  1. Bowden Tubes
  2. Printer Nozzles
  3. Dual Gear Extruder
  4. Heater Block
  5. Heater Cartridge
  6. Thermistor Temp Sensor

Stringing like that coming out of nowhere happened to me when a got a batch of filament that wasn't properly dried. It was so wet I could hear the water boiling off as small pops when it flowed out the nozzle. I went through all the calibration stuff but nothing helped until i dried out my filament.

I just ordered a filament dryer. If that doesn’t work, I’m going Office Space on that b¡tch.
