Trouble with PETG overhangs on the tree frog

Hello Prusa Friends,

I have a Prusa Mini+ and it's my first 3D printer. I've had zero issues printing PLA, so I decided to take the step towards a more durable filament that can withstand outside temps and ordered some Prusament PETG. I printed the tree frog and had some issues with the underside of it. I'm reaching out to all of you for some advice. I printed a temp tower from 220 to 265  and all of the overhangs turned out perfect. I'm wondering if this is an issue with the model itself.

It was sliced with the PrusaSlicer 4.5.0 using the default configuration for Prusament PETG. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know PS 4.5.0. I think you are using the current 2.5.0? Try to increase the fan speed as a first step.

How does the result look if you turn the print part 90 degrees to the left or right?

wbr,

Karl

Hey Karl,

Thanks for the reply. You are correct in stating that I am using PrusaSlicer 2.5.0...my bad. It's also my bad that I assigned the wrong filament to the model in PS. When I went back and looked, I realized that I told PS that I was using PLA when I was really using PETG. I changed it to PETG, it printed at 250C and turned out perfect.
