Comment on Stuttering when printing PETG

What printer do you have? youtu.be/Hvw3DrVAeTA?si=Pfy8z7OdlsybvbMN It could be this issue but that wouldn’t be material dependent but might show up more with petg since it’s more runny than pla.

It’s not small blobs like here, it’s huge blobs because the printhead doesn’t move for 10-20 seconds, so filament from the chamber keeps oozing while it just sits there.

Thinking about this again, could it be you have something like “wait for layer time” on and a very high minimum layer time set for your petg profile?

I was overloading the controller with gcode commands due to high gcode resolution. I increased from the profile default 0.0125mm to 0.5mm and it went away. I’m going to see how fine I can set the resolution without introducing the stutter, but at 0.5mm it still looks good.

If its stopping 10 to 20 seconds there’s definitely something in the gcode making the printer hang. I’d try slicing the file again with a different slicer to be sure.
