  in fact I'm surprised 220 worked. PETG for me usually requires 230-250

    I might have got lucky. but I also had every chance to succeed between the surface prep and the slow inital layers.

    But a lessons learn definitely apply to all types of printing. I’ve done a couple of pla prints since… and they are perfect.

    There’s a lot of variability in materials, even before you get into the “+” or “pro” versions.

    I’ve been printing Voron parts in ASA plastic for the last several weeks, and some of what I’ve used smells very strong but prints best on the cool part of the range, others smell hardly at all but print better hot. (I’m filtering fumes, worry not)
