How to prepare bed for PETG print
I have my bed covered by PEI foil. It works great , but it's very difficult to get PETG printouts from it. I tried to use bundled glue (as described in the handbook) as separator, but still it's veeeeery difficult to get my printouts from it. Please, could anybody advice any better way, how to separate PETG printouts?

There it is recommended to use window cleaner as bed preparation for PETG.

I use (large amounts) of gluestick or 3Dlac. Large PETG prints still stick a little too well to the bed, but I use a spatula and light taps of a hammer.. yeah sounds bad, but works perfectly. With the gluestick, the print will release little by little. With 3Dlac, a light tap typically releases the entire print.

Window cleaner works very well for me with PETG.

Windows cleaner works for me too. Just a spray and a wipe with a napkin on cold bed before printing.
When switching to ABS I use isopropyl alcohol and sometimes acetone to get the bed really clean again.
