Pretty happy with how it turned out- 0.2 layer height in PETG, took about 9 hours
This is seriously impressive for PETG. Have you ever considered picking up a resin 3d printer?
I have definitely thought about it, but I really don't have a use for one or the will to deal with the mess of resin. My understanding is that the benefit is significantly greater detail is possible but don't know of any other upsides, and the nastiness of resin seems like a big downside. Do they do anything else better other than detail? I've only been in the hobby for a few months so I'm still learning about this stuff.
Thanks for your comment on the print - it's taken me a LOT to get PETG dialed in but I can crank it really consistently at this point - aside from settings in Cura, my magic bullet was direct drive and bringing retraction way down. I could definitely get this print smoother with 0.12 or 16 layer height and going slower but I wanted to get it out quickly for the kid, this was at 90mm/s
