I can never seem to get PETG to print nicely. Occasionally it’ll do a decent job on my Bambu P1S but usually not, and don’t even think about trying to use it on any of my other printers… I’ve even had better luck printing with PC!

PETG has to be dry. I keep mine drying in my filament dryer when I’m printing it and then take it out and keep it sealed with dessicant when I’m not.

Stuff loved to absorb moisture like crazy and is super finicky when it has any moisture at all.
