Quick Fix Workflow

  1. Dry PETG before tuning.
  2. Use a moderate print speed and avoid overcooling.
  3. Set temperature high enough for layer bonding but low enough to reduce strings.
  4. Tune retraction carefully; PETG dislikes aggressive retraction.
  5. Use a release agent on surfaces where PETG may bond too strongly.

Tune one change at a time. Save the known-good profile before experimenting with speed, supports, pressure advance, or material overrides.

FAQ

Why does PETG string more than PLA in Cura?

PETG is stickier and more moisture-sensitive, so temperature, travel, and retraction tuning matter more.

Should I use AI Doctor for this issue?

Yes, especially when the symptoms overlap. AI Doctor is useful when stringing, blobs, poor first layer, heat, material, and slicer profile issues happen together.
