Print troubles with PETG
I've recently tried to revive my Mini+. I had stopped using it as I couldn't get it to stop leaving strings and blobs everywhere with Prusament PETG. This is still happening.
Prints turn out mostly acceptable, but not great. I recently printed a couple of benchys and noticed the strings and blobs, as well as some issues along the prow.
I also printed a test model. I'm not sure if it's the best test or not, but it certainly isn't turning out right.
Things I've tried:
- I've tried raising and lowering the nozzle temperature by 5 and 10 degrees.
- I've tried increasing the retraction by 0.5 and 1 mm.
I'm not sure what else to try, except for going back to PLA and writing off PETG for good. If anyone has any insight, I'd be thankful for it.
RE: Print troubles with PETG
With PETG you should always try to dry the filament first before you change any other setting in the slicer! Filament just fresh from the sealed bag is not guaranteed to be dry enough. If the filament is dry enough it will print fine with the stock profile, especially if it is Prusament.
