Can the Core One print PETG-ESD filament?
I am interested in making some small boxes for circuit boards. I see that Polymaker and some other vendors make PETG-ESD, which I know will need a hardened nozzle. I don't see any profiles in Prusa Slicer for a PETG-ESD filament that I can purchase in the USA. There is a profile for a EU company called AddNorth.
Has anyone printed with PETG-ESD on the Core One, and if so, what product and slicer profile did you use?
Thanks,
Neal

Yes, but you need to use a . 6mm nozzle to prevent clogging.

Just stating the obvious, but typically consumer electronics assemblies are not made from ESD-compliant material.
If the problem really needs conductive plastics, no can do. But it's non-standard and expensive.

If you can't find a manufacturer that provides a profile you can import into PrusaSlicer, you start with something reasonably close, modify it with the manufacture's configuration and then save a user preset. If you use some other manufacturer's preset out-of-the-box then you may or may not get a decent print. ESD filaments are generally impregnated with carbon fiber so (as you pointed out) you'll need a hardened nozzle. Also I would recommend 0.6mm or larger and not high flow. It's also super expense, in most cases $200/kg.

PolyMaker has a PETG-ESD filament, 1/2 KG spool, ~$33 USD:
