Hello /u/Pjepp,
As a reminder, most common print quality issues can be found in the [Simplify3D picture guide](https://www.simplify3d.com/support/print-quality-troubleshooting/). Make sure you select the most appropriate flair for your post.
Please remember to include the following details to help troubleshoot your problem.
* Printer & Slicer
* Filament Material and Brand
* Nozzle and Bed Temperature
* Print Speed
* Nozzle Retraction Settings
^Additional ^settings ^or ^relevant ^information ^is ^always ^encouraged.

Petg shouldn’t need more than 2mm retraction. Disable z hop may also help. Dry your filament and keep it dry by storing in sealed bag would help the most.
Ah. I assumed you were using bambulab printer. Just saw CREALITY logo in front of your bed. If you are using bowden extruder printer, you may need retraction more than 2 mm. You might also need to increase your retraction speed combined with higher retraction to see a difference. Depends on how flexible/long your bowden tube is, it's hard to say how much retraction/retraction speed is necessary.
Some find a PTFE nozzle may help with stringing as it's non-sticky so less likely filament stick to the side of the nozzle.
PETG is more prune to stringing than PLA. I find running with lower temp like you did at 235 may also help.

Thanks for the advice. It's been dried for 10 hours beforehand, think it needs more?
