Comment on PETG damaged plate

From the pic it looks almost like the first layer is still on the plate, or is it etched on? I doubt it’s the latter or your nozzle would be completely obliterated (and it would’ve made a god-awful noise the entire time). Sorry for the dumb question but, are you sure it’s not just filament with incredibly strong adhesion? Does it stop a scraper if you hit an edge?

Yes it’s definitely “etched” into the textured surface of the plate, although I don’t have a microscope to confirm, it feels that way. There’s no edge to catch with a scraping tool. And you can see in the photo from my previous reply that material is embedded in the bottom of the print!
It’s possible it made god-awful noises, because it’s in a shop and because this was a “repeat print” I just set it and walked away.

Then I would suggest checking if you have filament g-code set in your slicer, I guess it’s possible the z-stop was calibrated with a z-offset applied, and when it was removed by setting PLA the nozzle tried to go slightly below 0. What firmware are you running?

It’s just the default firmware, V1.0.6.
Z-offset is set at 0 in all the gcode I’ve checked so I think it’s the printer.
