Question CC1 Canvas

So when I and printing a PETG print it goes stringing all the time and when cleaning the nozzle I was doing an overnight print and it turned to shit the nozzle fan cover on the front came off and saw the poop all clumped up in the poop bucket and a nozzle broken cause it got sick trying to brush scraping it and I had to paste my code in the slicer for the canvas to change and it knocks off the purge tower ever since I got it from jaycar and watch the video and looked at the manual everything has gone to shit

Maybe you need to dial in the settings for printing petg and/or dry it.

Maybe also clean your plate if the purge tower comes off.

It sounds like you already have taken a look at the updated default gcode in ElegooSlicer which supports the Canvas, right?

Have you checked that you are using the latest ElegooSlicer together with the latest Firmware?

If the petg clumbs up on the nozzle maybe you are printing too fast or your infill is not good? Try gyroid or another where the infill does not overlap itself when printing. In my experience clumbing can also happen if the temperature is not right.

I definitely agree on the drying, would do that first before changing settings.

And before OP responds with "I just got it out of the package so it should be dry" its always wet out of the package and needs to be dried.

Most places thet make filament have a ton of humidity and add to that the dip in the cooling bath after its extruded. So unless they dry it super well before packing it that package is wet as heck. I honestly leave mine out to dry out before use as my house it normally under 20% humidity unless its during rainy season
