I've been having some serious issues getting PETG to print well, and I was wondering what settings other are using with success? I'm using a bedslinger in an enclosure and normally i print PLA with 200mm/s.

What are you doing for nozzle/bed temp, cooling fan, printing speeds etc? enclosed/open?

What is your printer capabilities normally for e.g. PLA?

Retraction and a nozzle condom are usually the first things to look for on PETG.

But you'll need to get whatever is specific to your machine's nozzle, probably. Prevents buildup of petg strings on the nozzle and helps a lot to get clean prints.
