PETG with PLA support default bed temperature
Hey,
I've printed a lot of PLA with PETG support where the bed temperature has been set as expected (60 degrees). I just now tried the opposite, PETG with PLA support and was surprised to see that the bed temperature is the same (60 degrees). Why is it not set to 80 degrees as is the default for PETG?
Obviously this caused my print to detach after a bit as PETG really needs that extra bit of heat to stick properly.
RE: PETG with PLA support default bed temperature
I just started a new print and it's using 80 degrees for the initial layer and then reduces to 60 degrees on 2nd and above layers. This must surely be a bug?

It's difficult to guess why this is happening without seeing the Project file. please save your project as a .3mf file, then zip compress the zipfile and attach the compressed zipfile to your next post.
do you have any PLA on the first layer? I Use PLA for the support interface layers and PETG for the rest of the supports are PETG, generally this means there are no PLA Areas on the build plate
Have you set the bed temperatures for both filaments to have 80C on the bed at all times? (this is generally OK if you don't have PLA on the build plate! )
If the PLA is set differently to the PETG this may be the root cause of your issue
