Comment on I'm doing something wrong; can't print this PETG

Holy crap. So I tried a pack of the Green PETG (still Kingroon) and the first print didn’t go well. It didn’t like .3mm on a .4mm nozzle. This happened: imgur.com/a/tXUg2fA. A bit of a clog and other weirdness.
I took the default Cura PETG settings for .4mm nozzle, swapped to .2mm (fast) default settings then set fan to 50% and temperature to 230C… I got a beautiful benchy: imgur.com/a/rBnBcAN.
It’s beautiful.
I guess it seems like maybe something is just wrong with that roll of blue…
Makes me wonder if a Bambu or some other more set/forget kind of printer would have been able to print it somehow. Maybe I’ll try again one day.
Thanks everyone so much for all.

i’ve had a cursed spool of filament, too same brand and type as known-good spools, but it was extremely resistant to me actually getting any results at all i’ve not had anywhere near this level of trouble with a spool before or since
