Is it easy to remove PETG from the buildplate?
Hello, I am planning to use PETG. Is it as easy to print and remove from the buildplate as PLA? Do I need to put something on the buildplate for easier removal after printing? Is there anything that I need to pay attention to if printing PETG? Thanks

The Prusa manual recommends a release agent for PETG when printing on the PEI surface. A spritz of Windex left on the surface will usually suffice for normal PETG print ranges. A few wipes of the fingers on a clean PEI sheet can work too. If you're printing above 250C, definitely apply some glue stick to the print area.

Thanks. If I use glue stick, will the build plate become greasy? Is it better than blue tape?
By glue stick, do you mean: https://shop.prusa3d.com/en/i3-accessories-mk3s-mk25s-etc/51-printbed-glue.html?search_query=glue+stick&results=8
If I use the smooth plate for PLA and power-coated plate for PETG, do I need to put something on the power-coated plate before printing?
