Elegoo PETG Glass Fiber
Anyone have any experience printing with Elegoo PETG GF?
I started playing with it, and I have determined that it does not the .4mm HF Hardened nozzle. (Even though their website says that you can use a .4…)
I swapped in my .6 HF hardened and it loaded without issue. Specifically, what settings did you use?
Kinda hard to print PETG tower when I’m not finding one for a .6 nozzle. 🙁
It’s fairly inexpensive stuff and everything else they make seems to pretty great in the Core One.

It's about six years since I last used GF inclusions.
I would not use a HF nozzle but it must be hardened.
As I recall it printed satisfactorily using a regular PETG profile.
It is almost essential to paint the finished print. If left unpainted in the sun the UV breakdown releases the ends of glass micro-fibres which can cause significant skin damage if handled.
Cheerio,

Interesting! Thank you.
I did a test print and now I trying a larger print. It appears that you are 100% correct; the standard Elegoo Rapid PETG profile works just fine.
I guess we’ll see if I screw up my high flow nozzle… doh.
The stuff is somewhat strong, that’s for sure. no intention of using it in outside conditions, so we’re probably good in that regard.
