Printer: Bambu Labs P1S.

Hi so I’m having issues with my petg when trying to print a benchy. I have been tweaking my temperatures, fan speeds and printing speeds but can’t seem to solve this issue of poor printing.

AI Help

It sounds like you're putting in a lot of effort to troubleshoot the issue with your PETG Benchy prints. Here are a few suggestions to help improve your print quality:

  • Ensure that your printer's bed is leveled correctly to provide a good first layer adhesion.
  • Make sure your nozzle is clean and free from any debris that can cause clogs.
  • Check if your filament is properly dried, as moisture can affect the print quality.
  • Adjust the retraction settings to prevent stringing.

If these suggestions don't solve the problem, please provide more specific details about the poor printing (e.g., pictures of the print, specific issues you're encountering) so I can offer more targeted assistance.

@sick sonnetnot enough cooling, printing too fast for your cooling solution

#

PETG is a slower filament than PLA

cut your speed down ALOT, increase cooling to max 100% and 10 seconds

#

and there should be a minimum layer time somewhere, I'ld boost to 10 secs atleast

benchy's chimney is a cooling test. If it is distorted, cooling is bad.

#

and at no time should printed part be wiggly

#

that is also a cooling issue

Some slight overhangs from it printing too quickly with the infill I believe. After some minor tweaks it should be better!
