Has anyone used Creality PETG filament?
If so, what settings did you use?
I am new to 3D printing and due to receive my Core One printer this week. Yes, I will learn with Prusa PLA that is included, and will study the training course first.
But then I want to use PETG, and the Creality PETG in my local area is half the cost of Prusa PETG.
I was studying PrusaSlicer last night, and noticed that there is no Filament profile settings (is that the right word?) for Creality filament. So I assume I need
to learn the temperatures, retraction, and other settings? Or does the community already have settings that they share?
Thanks for any mentoring and guidance,
Neal
RE: Has anyone used Creality PETG filament?
Generic PETG should work fine. Also, you will want to pick up either a Prusa Satin Sheet or better (in my opinion) and certainly much cheaper BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier
Creality is fine filament also I really like Overture PETG since it prints well and is a quality filament.
RE: Has anyone used Creality PETG filament?
Thanks for the guidance. I did order the BIQU CryoGrip Pro Glacier build plate and it came today from Amazon.
When the printer arrives, and I pass my intial PLA training, I will try the Generic PETG setting.
Thanks again,

PLA is indeed easy to print, but you won't find PETG to be any harder really. It does have a tendency to get stringy sometimes.
Do you have a filament dryer? That should be the next thing on the list if you don't already have one. Also a spare heat block set and an extra nozzle is always helpful as well.
RE: Has anyone used Creality PETG filament?
Yes, Today I received the Creality Space Pi 2025 version filament dryer. From what I read, printing directly from the dryer can help provide the best quality PETG experience, and minimize stringing, oozing, and zits.

I’ve never had to print PETG directly from a dryer. I dry it then store it in a dry box when not in use. Take it out of the box and spool on the printer.
RE: Has anyone used Creality PETG filament?
I might not have to either, but will learn soon enough. I live 1 mile from the ocean, and the average daytime humidity in my workshop is ~80%.
Many people that don't print from a dryer live where it is "dryer" 🙂
Some who live near humidity like me don't even have a dryer, and have not yet seen that they could get a little better quality if they use one.
Of course, I am only speaking from what I read, since I have not yet used a 3D printer, and mine is not due to arrive until tomorrow.
But at least I am ready with a dryer if I learn that I need to use it.
Cheers,
Neal

Ah, OK. My humidity ranges usually from 30-50%. When I get filament I throw it in the drier even if it came "factory sealed" then transfer to a dry box which is good enough (except for Nylon which is a water sponge).
