PETG Settings Guide
Tune PETG adhesion, stringing, temperature, cooling, flow, and supports for clean strong prints.
Start hereUse a dry spool, less first-layer squish than PLA, conservative retraction, and the lowest temperature that still gives strong bonding.
First safe actionRun the first safe check and change one variable at a time.
Proof targetA small representative test no longer shows the original symptom.
Match the failed area to the visual before changing a setting.

Controlled test logChange one variable, then record what happened
This keeps temperature, retraction, speed, mechanical, and material tests from blending together. The history stays private in this browser.

Do not repeat the full print yet
Prove the repair with a small test
Test modelSmall representative test print
SetupUse the same printer, material, slicer and key settings as the failed model.
Pass conditionThe original symptom is absent and the target feature is repeatable.
If it still failsThe symptom remains in the same location or stage.
Complete the repair steps, run the proof test, and record the result.
Only if the proof test still failsNext strongest repair paths
