Problems with PETG
hi all,
I only use my printer with PLA so far since I always had issues with PETG.
I tried it with one or two Prusa PETG filaments, now I have Sunlu PETG I want to use.
i’m using their textured sheet, bed temperature is set to 85 and nozzle to 230°.
I think the issue is such a PETG is not sticking to the bed, but I might be wrong. I’m just a bit confused because I’ve read that PETG sticks quite well and even better than PLA.
what can I do to print nicely with PETG.
thanks a lot!
RE: Problems with PETG
Your nozzle is too high. Did you create a sheet profile for your textured sheet?
RE: Problems with PETG
no I did not. I didn’t even know that something like that exists.
I tried the live calibration. But maybe I still did not go low enough?
Typically the coated sheets are much thinner than the smooth sheets.
You are correct, your first layer offset calibration did not go low enough, revisit it. Before doing so change the sheet identifier on the LCD menu and the sheet's dimensions will be allocated to that identity for easy sheet-swaps later on.
Sometimes new textured sheets do not begin to work well until they have been washed.
Cheerio,
