ABS Prints Flawless, PETG is a Dumpster Fire
Filament - Overture PETG
Default PrusaSlicer settings for generic PETG except temp changed to 225C after temperature tower and pressure advance set to 0.05, up from 0.045.
New enclosed vcore 400. I printed off a few things ok in PETG initially. Then I switched to ESun ABS+ to print off some parts for inside the enclosure (led mounts and some other odds and ends). ESun ABS+ prints damn near flawlessly.
I switched back to PETG and was having some issues. I was trying to print off this snack holder that fits around a stanley cup for my girlfriend (picture shown). It didn't go well. I decided to retest the filament since this was a different color. I ran a temp tower and I thought I had a clogged nozzle after it stopped extruding completely in the middle of the print @ 220C. I cleared the nozzle and I had a pretty good idea about the temp so I moved on to do an EM test print. I absolutely couldn't get this to print at all. The video of the white filament is the PETG with an EM of 1. There's also pictures of more and less EM, but they all pretty much look the same so I don't think that's the issue.
Finally I switched back to the ABS to see if something was wrong with the printer itself and that's the video of the black filament printing. Again printing flawlessly.

Solution
That was my initial thought, but this was actually completely due to the tension on the orbiter which is kinda blowing my mind. I don't understand exactly how that has so much effect on things.
