I think I was getting Jayo PETG from AliExpress. As for PCTG it was from Rosa3D - you can get it directly from them or through Allegro

I’ve printed a lot of Jayo PETG, and aside from having to dry it before use, it was fine (and very cheap).

Im Poland you can get PETG for <30 zł, PCTG for ~80. PETG-CF for a little bit more than the plain one.

I am aware of that, but usually Jayo branded filament is cheaper ;)
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 1 week ago:
I’ve used both. PCTG is much more expensive than PETG (which is one of the filaments you can get very cheap), and does not offer that much over it. Unless you need something with (very slightly) better impact and temperature resistance PETG is way to go. If you need much better impact/temperature resistance ASA/PA is the way to go. I’m using PETG+CF if I need more durability and temperature resistance than the plain one, but avoid CF for stuff I have to touch a lot.

Eryone and Jayo are pretty good (and cheap) too
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 1 week ago:
Yup, try PETG, it’s pretty versatile and resistant to most things (aside from very high temperatures).

Try it, I was thinking the same thing once and it did turn out to be the case
- Comment on Gaps in first layer, but not in brim? 4 weeks ago:
Any chance your z-offset is making the nozzle too close to the plate/too high flow rate for it?

5 people demanding something is not an actual demand in this context;)

I’m not saying you do - just implying it’s pointless
- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 1 month ago:
lol, good luck with that. First of all it doesn’t really affect them commercially, second - there’s no single version/distribution to support.
- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 1 month ago:
There are also scripts to unlock upgrade on „unsupported” processors which still technically work with 11
- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 1 month ago:
Pressure them about what exactly? Making the product for Linux or extending Windows 10 support?
- Comment on Calibrating my E-steps ended up giving me nearly pixel-perfect prints (Creality K1) 3 months ago:
I have it working with a BTT Microprobe (which is very similar to CR-touch). It does not work with the PRTouch which comes with the printer (and is inferior anyway). Eddy is probably much better than either of those. I have the gantry mode printed and pre-assembled but decided not to go with it. Maybe someday if something breaks and I’ll have to tear printer apart anyway. When you’re saying extruder you mean the hotend?
- Comment on Calibrating my E-steps ended up giving me nearly pixel-perfect prints (Creality K1) 3 months ago:
I was able to get >35 (tested using Orca’s calibration) with CHCB-OT, but I doubt you can go much higher than that even with better extruder gears.
- Comment on Calibrating my E-steps ended up giving me nearly pixel-perfect prints (Creality K1) 3 months ago:
Can you point me at more info on how to do it on K1, and how does it help? From my end I’d like to recommend the glass bed mod for K1 (put in between the stock bed and magnetic sheet). The bed level is really great. ~0.1mm difference across the bed, no weird bends, no need to preheat (heat soaking?) in advance before leveling

Same!
- Comment on What are your go-to sites to find free 3D files to print? 4 months ago:
I’ve been using thangs which used search everywhere, but now it defaults to searching only models hosted on itself so I’ve stopped using it.
- Comment on What are your go-to sites to find free 3D files to print? 4 months ago:
I’ve been using thangs which used to do the same, but now it looks only at itself…no thanks
- Comment on Print refusing to stay flat in corners 4 months ago:
What is the (approximate) ambient temperature of the room it’s being printed in? Are there drafts (wind)? Have you tried cleaning the plate and then using glue (which shouldn’t even be needed for PLA)?

Ok Creed
- Comment on 3D-printed cam gears from various materials - will they work? 7 months ago:
Because they don’t go on the public roads, or don’t consider lives of ordinary Russians to be important enough?

You could set up Tailscale on any device in your network and access it through that. That’s probably the easiest way to do it.

Which OEMs are as bad as Apple is, can you show me an example? I had no idea to be honest
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 8 months ago:
I was talking adopt other OEMs that you’ve mentioned. It’s obvious what Apple does
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 8 months ago:
Do you mean having a lot higher margins on upgrades? I don’t think that’s true either, but maybe they’ve been getting more aggressive on that front over time.
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 8 months ago:
Apple’s RAM/storage prices have been unhinged for a long time. I try to avoid any upgrades when I buy their products, it’s usually better to get the higher model - I.e. with better processor/better product line (which usually has a better starting RAM/storage), than to upgrade a base model

Keep in kind some filament may be humid out of the box. You can try different methods of drying it for now, but I’d really recommend getting a dryer when you can.
