Comment on I'm doing something wrong; can't print this PETG
IMALlama@lemmy.world 1 day agoPETG isn’t very tolerant of too much retraction. Given your fine first layer I suspect you’re developing a clog as the print goes on, which would result in under extrusion. Turning retraction completely off will make it very easy to rule out as a possibility.

What should I see differently with retraction off? Like it failed but what should I look for then try next?

Did it look more solid or did print quality basically remain the same?

It pretty much self clogged a few layers in. So about the same?

Sorry to hear that. The only thing that comes to mind is potentially print speed. Your first layer is probably pretty slow. Are your subsequent layers much faster?
