Trying to print PRUSA logo with PETG

I have finished setting up my i3, and have done all the calibration including the base layer (I chose PETG) for filament type. Now I would like to print the Prusa logo as a test. But I noticed that the printer only heats the nozel to 215 and the bed to 60, where as when I doing the base layer test I think it was 280 and 80, or something much hotter.

The logo print only gets so far (3-5 layers) before I cancel it because the print sticks to the nozel.

I notice that the file on the SD card has PLA in it. I this because it is set for PLA? Is there a way to tell to print this model using PETG?

Thanks,

~Shea M

Welcome on Prusa board!

The gcode file which is on the Prusa SD card is containing all the settings. You can not change them easily. If it's for PAL, print it with PAL (the one delivered with the printer).

If you want to print with PETG, you have to slice the model again with Prusa Slicer. But that's not part of the printer assembly, that another step.

Although highly not recommended, while the print starts you could from the printer "menu>tune" change the bed and extruder temperatures manually.

Yes, bad idea, as stated - temperatures are not the only parameters which are filament specific (extrusion multiplier, cooling...)

Why posting things you don't recommend doing?

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
