Print is a little squished using PETG

I printed a model using PETG from Overture and the model is a little squished in places compared to using the Prusament PETG (2 mm thinner on a 22 mm thick model). Could this mean the nozzle temp. or bed temp is a little too high for this particular PETG. I've just been using the Prusament settings but these seem within range of what Overture recommends.

Thanks

Or, should I turn up fan speed?

I think fan speed could help, but I would start with a slightly lower printing temp first. I don’t like to mess with fans until everything else has been worked through. I’m sure someone will correct me, but I feel working on print temperature is the place to start. It sounds like you are too hot and maybe getting a little ooze?

Nothing else changed right? Same sheet/nozzle?

Thanks for the feedback. Yes same sheet and nozzle. I changed the temp from 250 to 240 for top layers this time around. I'l see how that works out.

Just to finish off this thread in case anyone else finds it. The prints are now fantastic once I lowered the upper layers temp to 240.
