Comment on I'm doing something wrong; can't print this PETG
csm10495@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoI instead tried printing directly from the spool holder immediately after taking it out of the dryer. Same thing happened. I doubt it could have moisture-d up that fast for it to make a difference

For good measure I tried going direct from the dryer to the hot end (and just left a piece in the runout sensor to have it not trip). More/less the same problems: imgur.com/a/65jzAQv … I stopped it early since it was failing terribly. Otherwise was using default cura generic PETG settings on .3mm per layer with .4mm nozzle.

0.3mm layers seems kinda high for a 0.4mm nozzle (I usually try to keep layer height ≤1/2 nozzle diameter), could be your hotend is having a hard time melting PETG that quickly?

This may have been it. Thanks! ref: sh.itjust.works/comment/22401881

Awesome! One of the biggest advantages of switching to a larger nozzle diameter is being able to print those larger layers. Cuts print time dramatically
