No

Try drying it. That should reduce stringing and increase layer adhesion

Ok what do you recommend for drying

Ask in #chat-printing. I have a filament dryer, but there are more methods that I can’t explain well

Try printing it right side up, use snug support around the bottom and a small spot in the center of the dome. That was the only way I had success. I tried printing it upside down a few times and couldn’t get it to work. Also as others said, dry the filament if possible.
