Been using prusaslicers default PLA profile with issues and this is my first roll of PETG, so I just selected the corresponding profile for that.

It seems so be super stringy whenever there’s movement and when printing the bunny (in vase mode) there’s lots of holes in the model.

I’m not sure if this is an issue with calibration (didn’t do anything when switching from PLA) or if the filament is wet.

I did two temp towers: 260-225

And

280-235 Although my printer didn’t want to go above 260, so the first layers are all 260.

Yikes! Are you sure you sliced the temp tower for PETG profile? (as others have inquired)

[–] drudoo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Update: replaced the nozzle, heat block (heating element, sensor, PTFE) and fan duct. Did two new temp towers:

Left tower is 235 (top) to 260 (layers labeled 280-260 are all 260). Right is 220-240.

I definitely feel like 220 is the right temp for this.

Huge difference!

Yeah I have Prusament Jet Black and 220/225 is the sweet spot for it on my setup.

That’s a shame you have to do all of the replacements but looks to solve all sorts of things for you.
