Optimal settings for Inland PETG filament

Hello I am new to 3D printing, and am having an issue finding the ideal settings for the Inland PETG I picked up at Micro Center today to print some things around the house as I was told PLA is not ideal for places near water, and a lot of my latest prints are kitchen related. So any assistance to print on my new i3 MK3S would be appreciated. It seems to work fine in PLA

Re: Optimal settings for Inland PETG filament

Haven't done PETG yet, but their PLA and PLA+ both worh well with the Generic, Prusa, and Prusament PLA settings.

As far as not using PLA prints near water, my son has turned a few toys I printed for him into bath toys with no ill effects so far. I suppose it depends on what the object and it's purpose is, but I'm more concerned about cleanliness (which is a problem with any print without significant post processing) than water effecting it. PLA should be fine for cases that aren't going to hold water long term. Rinsing it off or getting splashed should be fine.

Hell I was submerging a piece done with Prusa PLA in water while sanding it (got paranoid about heat from sanding distorting it, but I know better now). Got called away from it urgently and then forgot about it. It stayed floating in the bucket for 30ish hours with no discernible effect.

I've attached a config for the settings I've used with good success. Import it as a config bundle.

@bobstro can you please resend the link of the configuration. Looking for optimal settings for Inland PETG for my MK3s.

Don't buy it if you can make it
