Comment on Stuttering when printing PETG

I got a farfetched theory … Maybe your printer is underpowered. Printing PETG requieres a higher temperature and thus more power. This is absolute guesswork, but you could try to disconnect your printer from the power outlet and tighten the screws for the power connections going from the power supply unit and going into your printers main board

It still happens with low temps that are in PLA range. I tried a temp tower starting from 220°C, so the upper end of PLA temps, and it still happens. I can print PLA with 220°C without stuttering, so I don’t think it’s a power issue.

  I dont use pruca slicer, but had simmilar issues with ArcWelder plugin in Cura. Disable plugins if you use any and maybe try another slicer for testing

  Did printing with PETG ever work with your printer?
  
  You could create two gcode files for the same model, one for PLA and one for PETG and see if something stands out in their difference.

    I have done a few prints in PETG before, only 2 or 3, but they didn’t have the issue.

    Yeah I was planning on trying this when I get home.
