Will try a different brand once I’m done this spool. The weird thing is the white filament was perfectly fine.

@idunnololz Elegoo PETG is simply horrible, never again. It surprised me a bit given how awesome their PLA is.

Not sure how my experience stacks up but I have been getting performance equivalent to the Bambu PETG out of the Elegoo I have been buying recently on my P1S. A little bit of stringing but that seems to have a lot to do with recent humidity as a pass through the filament dryer has been rectifying it. Just ran 2 rolls of the Red PETG Rapid through for my mates packout accessories, and before that I did a bunch of cleats for his tool wall in some Black PETG.
Did a good enough job that he rather kindly bought his wife a P1S for her birthday when the Black Friday sales hit. She has turned that around and run the printer non-stop since it arrived and only about 40% of that has been prints for him. 😆

PETG really is variable from suppliers. It ranges from easy as PLA to unprintable.
