Strange Occurance printed PLA like PETG
I had a strange occurance the other day. I ordered some Matterhackers MHBuild PETG the other day, but I must have made an error in ordering it, because some of the rolls were PLA. I like the MHBuild filament because it prints well. Anyway, I didn't realize some of the rolls were PLA instead of PETG, but I printed the filament as if it were PETG. The prints came out very well. The only issue is that I needed to let the bed cool before taking off the print.
Using an .4 Obxidian nozzle with the satin PEI bed with IS enabled..
I am gobsmacked.
I will be doing this in the future.

RE: Strange Occurance printed PLA like PETG
I think we've all done that at some time ... watch for stringing, which can occur in some models depending on the travel of the printhead.. and excessive elephants foot, if you bed is that hot. And different brands may react different. But if you like the results.. that is the important thing.
