Comment on First time with PETG. Is this calibration, wetness or something else?

My vote is a combo but it includes being wet, is this a new roll or if not how did you have it stored? I have found PETG to be much more finicky with moisture than PLA overall so if you have a way to dry it definitely try that and see what happens before trying to calibrate it.

Brand new roll. I unfortunately don’t have any way to dry it :(

I would try what that other person said, that’s a great idea!
Anecdotally, I actually just got through half of a brand new roll today that I opened two days ago and it has been printing from a dry box and it started spattering from trapped moisture (you will find little chunks of plastic on your bed in past experience) so it’s in the dryer now haha.
Hope it works out!

You can use your heated bed, just set a temp and cover the roll with a box.
