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

What temperature range is the filament rated for, and at what temperature are you printing at?

Oozing is a fact of life. But it's a lot less of a problem at lower temperatures. Also how old is the filament? Has it been sitting out absorbing humidity? Wet filament will drool a lot too.
