To improve bed adhesion when printing with PETG, you can use a build surface such as PEI, BuildTak, or a glass bed with a layer of glue stick or hairspray. Additionally, you can experiment with different bed temperatures and first-layer settings to optimize adhesion. Can I use a cooling ...
Poor Bed Adhesion Problem: The first layer of the print doesn't stick to the bed, causing the print to fail. Solution: Ensure your print bed is level and the nozzle-to-bed distance is correctly set. Slightly increasing the first layer height can help with adhesion. Experiment with different...
Current settings are: Extruder: 230°C Platform: 80°C Base print speed: 50mm/s Layer height: 0.1mm First layer height: 0.2mm Perimeter: 3 shells Top layers: 4 Bottom layers: 4 Overlap: 30% Infill: 25% Separation to model (raft): 0.2mm ...
Basic info PETG is one of the most easily printable materials, it is inexpensive and suitable for beginners. Relatively high tenacity and temperature resistance make it suitable for printing technical parts (for example parts of our printers). Recommen
You need to have the absolute perfect first layer, or it won’t stick: image1920×1080 67 KB I was able to figure out the “perfect” first layer by following 90% of what the SM guide says, but, on the step where it says “lower the head until the card curls while pressing in...
PETG also has excellent layer adhesion, meaning the layers of a 3D print stick together well. This results in prints with high structural integrity and fewer failures due to layers not sticking together. Another important property of PETG is its transparency.[5] While not completely clear, PETG...
This happens most frequently with glass print beds and can be prevented by using a buffer layer between the print bed and the first layers of the part. Kapton tape works well with PETG filament, as well as filament adhesives like Magigoo. Alternatively, the BigRep SWITCHPLATE, a removable ...
RE: Layer shifting in Y-Axis, more noticeable with PETG It was printed using Overture PETG at default settings (“Generic PETG”). I kicked off another print, so I will post pics of the extruder tomorrow. Thanks again! Log in to be able to post ...

PETG can be used with enclosed and open 3D printers. The print bed should be heated to 75–90 °C. For adhesion of the first layer, the bed must be covered with a coat of glue or "printing juice" — a solvent with plastic dissolved in it. The extruder temperature is 230–250 °C...
