Generic petg hf

hf is for high speed!! so why this

32 min with hf and this

is generic, no change for test new filament!

why generic petg is 22m et hf 32

The max flow rates are lower on Generic filaments in general to be on the safe side and to be compatible with a wider selection of filaments.


You can run a “max flow rate test” and if your generic PETG HF can indeed flow faster, you can adjust the flow rate and/or make a custom filament profile for it.

I think that’s not quite what was being asked. OP notes that if they choose PETG-HF the print time is 32 minutes, but if the choose PETG it is 22 minutes.

I’ve seen this happen in my own prints. It really seems backwards from what you’d expect. Why is a high-flow material slower to print?

Thats due to the minimum layer time for cooling being longer on PETG-HF. On larger items, it wont matter so it will print faster, but on smaller items it will be slower.
