Using PETG

[zen574]

So i was mistakenly gifted a spool of matterhackers clear PETG. i’ve only ever used PLA. of course i’m going to flip my plate and use some glue stick, but what default filament settings should i start with?

Lots of good info on this forum.

PETG will not print in my X1

I have had my X1C w/ AMS for one week. PETG Problem Serious problem with PETG, either Prusament or Hatchbox, outlined below. All of my filaments have lived their lives in a dry box with desiccant. These filaments print perfectly on my Prusa MK3S. Bottom line with the X1C…nothing usable will print with either of these filaments. Using the Engineering Plate with glue and Generic PETG filament profile. The filament barely sticks to the plate. No print has successfully completed the first lay…

I know having a P1P like I do has some differences, but I constantly print PETG on the Textured Plate included with the P1P. I also print using the High Temp Plate and have never had any issues with PETG and I don’t use any glue, hair spray etc I hate the stuff.

All I found was PETG needs temps bumped up to 270c to print properly.

PETG was awful until I dried it in a SUNLU Filament Dryer S2 with Fan (2023 model) for a day. The Polymaker PETG worked fine with the generic PETG settings after that on the engineering plate with the glue stick. It had similar defects to PLA so not perfect but neither has been my use of PLA in the AMS.
