I don't use modern slicers but Skeinforge has an option to not cross
perimeters if it can be avoided. I use that for stringy plastics. I would
assume other slicers have a similar option.

I don't use PETG because it sticks to the nozzle too well and won't bridge
because the nozzle rips up the last thread it laid down.

If you haven't yet tried it, consider to place your filament spool in a
food dehydrator for up to fifteen hours. There's a few videos and photos of
before and after prints and one of the consistent aspects is substantially
reduced stringing and improved surface finish.

Original message from gene heskett gheskett@shentel.net

PETG on the hanger, H2 head on a BIQU BX printer, 235C nozzle, 70C bed.

!: Excessive stringing of the inside of a tube, where it doesn't stick and
stretches across 20 degrees or so in a straight line, In largely random
locations. What can I change to alleviate that?
