  • One of the more common questions I receive from my viewers is how to print with PETG. In this video, I will discuss when to use PETG vs PLA, the safety of printing with PETG, and how to properly set up your printer to print PETG. Any 3d printer that can print at 230C and has a heated print bed that can reach 80c is able to print PETG you just need to know the tips in this video.
    The following Google slide deck has the material reference in this video including the startup gcode for Cura version 4.X.

    I had a client who needed a part for their drone and PETG's mechanical properties made it the ideal candidate since it's much less brittle than PLA. I figured while I was at it I would print the new fan duct I've been wanting for my Sovol SV01. As a result I had a lot of trial and error tweaking my settings for getting really nice string-free prints from PETG. I found that using a temperature tower to select the lowest temp that has less stringing but still had good layer adhesion makes a big difference. In addition, I increased my travel speed to maximum to help with oozing, set my print speed to 35mm/s, disabled combing, increased retraction by 1mm and set retraction to a nice slow speed of 25mm/s for both my bowden and direct drive setup, and set my part cooling fan to 0% for the first several layers, then 50% after that (100% when doing bridges still, which you can set in Cura). YMMV but this worked for me to get quite clean prints.

    I really appreciate the look at G-Code. This made me realize that the default settings in Cura for "Generic PETG" don't match the manufacturer's recommended temperature and flow settings, and I was able to tune the settings before I printed with a nozzle heated only to 215°C, when the recommendation was 230-250°C!

I am still having problems with slicing my 3-D print projects in Cura (fine tuning the settings for my 3-D printer) and will take a little time for me to get the bugs out.

    I am watching this on my first day of printing. I wish I had seen it before starting off. My computer is in for repairs and started off with PETG, I struggled a little trying to pause the print to turn back temp settings as they were reverting to the default gcode temps .. By the end of the day, I found my way to editing the 104 and 140 codes. Also, my Ender 3 was slow to react to feed rates, this I will want to adjust. As soon as I figure out how to include a few lines to get the extruder laying out nice I will include the code in every print just to see how things are laying out . Great videos, great content/advice .

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. I just started 3D printing about 3-4 weeks ago with an Ender 3 v2 printer. I started with PLA without issues and learned a lot about bed leveling with it. I bought PETG from Inland at MicroCenter yesterday, loaded up the PETG and started a test print. Bed adhesion and very strong and the test prints went well. I started a print that was going to take several hours and after watching for about 20m, I went to bed. When I got up this morning I had 2 issues. First is the bed adhesion was crazy strong. I ended up pre-heating the bed to 60c to get it unstuck. The second issue is the print failed with about 20% to go. It seems like the print head got clogged and the the hot tip melted the top printed layers. I am using the Cura 5.10 slicer, but I also manually set the bed and print head to 70c and 235c respectively. FYI, the Inland box says the temperature range is 225-240c for the print head. I had seen the temperatures change in mid start-up code, so I think your temperature discuss will be the answer there. So what do I do for the possible clogging issue? Thanks again for your channel and help.

    Thank you, Irv, for this deep dive into real world PETG printing. I have been experimenting with it for a few months now, but found it more difficult to print than PLA because my environment is drafty. Adding an enclosure helped stabilize this for me. I still have questions as to how adequate ventilation is supposed to work without introducing significant drafts to a printer without an enclosure - I am thinking that having the enclosure will act as a buffer, with the room's air being able to be exhausted outside in a reasonable way without affecting the area inside the enclosure. I also found issues printing PETG first layers until I started using 3M blue tape on the bed - the textured surface of the tape seems to keep the first layer stuck properly during printing far better than the textured layer on my build plate. Glad you are feeling better! Best wishes.

    I had done a little research to figure out why my printer had a low temperature limit while other (more expensive printers) had much higher ones. What I found was it comes down to the hotend and the teflon tube that comes in it. Apparently teflon will degrade at higher temperatures and can even release gasses that you don't want. I've also learned that some manufacturers will rate their printer for a little higher than they should based on the quality of the teflon tubing / lining they use. My wife bought me an all metal hotend so I could feel more comfortable printing with PETG specifically and higher print temp materials in general without worrying that I'm degrading my bowden tube.

  • @edcbabc
    @edcbabc 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Really helpful video - I am just waiting for my first 3d printer, so am trying to learn fast. Some points:
    1. Someone suggested set temps then wait for both, saves time, rather than set bed, wait, set hotend, wait. I've read somewhere that it is best not to leave the nozzle hot and doing nothing for a long time, as it might dribble (!), and since the bed is slower to heat, get that done first. So, on that basis, your ordering looks best.
    2. Would I be right in assuming that the bits in {} are macros automatically filled in from settings, either from slicer settings or the printer?
    3. Why are temps being set twice - above and below the the initial print lines? Does the g92 (reset extruder) cause the settings to be lost?
    4. Would it not be best to do auto bed levelling after the bed at least is up to the right temperature for accuracy re expansion? If so would that also apply to the nozzle?
    5. I wondered why it is necessary to raise the extruder 2mm, does the g92 e0 cause the extruder to go to Z position 0, ie right down to bed level, and if so, doesn't that imply the g92 must cause the nozzle to hit the bed?
    6. I assume g29 does a full bed level - 10x10 points in Marlin, I believe. Elsewhere I've seen a recommendation to do a quick 3 point only level before every print. Ie manually do a one off full auto level, and save the 10x10 array, then in the start code per print, load the saved array, then do the 3 point level just to check for any further offsets / bed movements, then print. This was with Marlin 2.x. I guess it saves a bit of time by assuming the bed may have slightly moved, but the surface profile will be the same?
    All your videos and helpful and explain a lot - why as well as how. Thanks.

    I’ve had success with PETg with a bed at 69degC and glue stick, so good that I struggled to get prints off... filament used was Marvle3D.
    PETg Maximum print speed of 60mm/s. I’m Using Cura, set print temp 239-255degC you may need to tune temp while printing as too hot creates stringing (octoPrint helps with this) 239degC for slower and thin layer heights, 0.1mm and at the other end, with a 0.27mm later height, the extra temp setting was needed at 255degC to ensure that it flows well.
    If your printer doesn’t do a prime index line, add a skirt to your print so you have flow. Retraction needs to be more than PLA. I run retraction at 6.5mm for PETg to help reduce stringing.

    I know it has been a while ago since this has been posted, but when talking about the brim not releasing easily, I have recently found that having the brim attachment distance(Cura) set to -.004 allows for a nice thing line to tare away, now this does not effect adhesion over all but it can allow warping to pull up, but with the right temps and a clean bed (I just Isopropyl 91% quick wipe to leave a film as a releasing agent, releases the PETG just under its glass transit temp, the ISO which I found is needed to release and safely used on glass beds, that works nicely compared to regular glue stick)

    The Overture build surface sheets work very well for PETG (and PLA), as long as your bed is leveled properly. Bed temperature 80C, although that might be machine and filament dependent to some degree.

    One thing I didn't see you mention is the Bowden tube. I have read that some printers don't do the higher temps without destroying the factory tube. Do you recommend upgrading to the Capricorn tube before venturing into PETG?

      If you print in PLA, which is a good start, you do not use an enclosure and an enclosed could cause your prints to fail if the environment gets too warm.

    One possible time saver that I think would make startup a little faster is to set both the bed and the nozzle temp and then wait for both of them. That way they are heating at the same time. So, M140, M104, M190, M109. Of course, you need to have a power supply that is capable of heating both. It works fine on my Prusa Mini that I got last month.

    Just in case -- Cura 4.8 generates proper starting G-Code, if your profile is OOTB or it's custom one based on Cura Generic PETG profile.
    E.g. this is extract from my sliced models, from the beginning:
    M140 S82
    M105
    M190 S82
    M104 S240
    M105
    M109 S240
    That matches 100% to the profile I've set for custom Overture PETG BLACK for my E3 Pro with
    Micro Swiss All Metal Hotend Kit. I hope this will be helpful. Happy New Year!!!

    Great video as usual, however you are wasting time in your start code
    You should change it to:
    set bed temperature
    set hot end temperature
    wait for bed temperature
    wait for hot end temperature
    This way both the bed and the hot end start heating up at the same time and your wait time to reach the hot end temperature is reduced.
    Glad you are healty again and keep up the good work
    Claude.

      The basic technique should be the same. Check out the comment from @Anthony Towler He has some suggestions that will probably help with the all metal hotend. Overall, one of the complaints many people have will all metal hot ends is stringing.

    • @johnl3487
      @johnl3487 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The best thin to do is ether get the Micro Swiss direct drive or revert back to stock hot end. You have the worst of both worlds, Bowden (needs lots of retraction) and all metal hot end(need very little retraction). I have printed PETG on a CR-10s but the retraction setting that worked really didn't work.

    One comment on the Start gcode segment of the video. Apologies if I just missed the reference to which slicer the code was being used with, the slice "run time" variables of the from {variable name} aren't common across all slicers. Which slicer does this apply to and did you find a reference to a lit for that slicer's parameters?

    Great video!! I have the microswiss all metal hotend on Ender3 V2. Any idea why there's a lot of material build up on the nozzle when i print PETG? Nozzle is not leaking i've confirmed. My E-Steps are accurate as well. I tried under-extruding by changing the multiplier to 0.94. I've also tried increasing the gap between my nozzle and the bed. no luck so far. Eventually the build up clogs the nozzle in 25-30 mins after cleaning it. Any idea how can i resolve it?
