  • I’m not trying to invalidate anything of your experiences . I mentioned my printers as an example of printing a ton of petg on a cheap printer. I have no experience with your printer specifically, I was just trying to say that it is possible to print petg on a cheap printer but undoubtedly there are similar stories as yours on the same printer I had success with.

    I also didn’t mean that your printer was broken or couldn’t print anything, but if the petg temp was right on the edge of the max set in firmware and the hot end drifts too much, it’s going to trigger a shutdown. The drift in temp could be bad PID tuning or even a lose connection. If that were the case you would be able to print PLA just fine because the drift wouldn’t exceed the max temp and trigger a shutdown.


  • Ive definitely gone through periods of hating petg just because it’s sticky and in my experience any amount of over extrusion results in it building up on the nozzle. It sounds like something may have been wrong with your printer. Shutting down from the hotend being too hot is odd unless that printer specifically has a low max temp or the hotend was doing something to trigger a shutdown. I have 2 voron printers now but I printed all of the parts for the first one out of petg on an ender 3 V2 without issue.

    More than hold ping pong paddles with the word false written on them. With the exception of a select few, they’re all basically wet blankets. Let’s see some civil disobedience, let’s see someone getting arrested for standing up for what’s right? Best they can do is ping pong paddles?
