    Is this caused by moisture?

    I've been using my Prusa MK3s for several years and have used it extensively at intervals. Now, I'm facing the issue that I can't achieve good results anymore. There are "holes" in the prints, and sometimes the material sticks to the hotend. I wonder if this is caused by the filament becoming too moist. As a test, I've used various rolls of PETG, but obtained more or less the same results. Subsequently, I dried one of the PETG rolls in the oven at 50 degrees Celsius for 6 hours. Initially, this seemed to bring improvement, but the problem resurfaced afterward.

    Have you ever changed the nozzle? If you never have and have used this printer for years you may want to try that. Good Luck.
