Quick questions to the #3dprinting bubble here - I am curious:

1. What is your preferred way of preventing PETG prints to stick to the print bed?

2. If they stick strongly - what's your preferred way of getting them off the print bed?

Boost welcome - thanks a lot!

New PETG #3dprinting attempt running with the textured (powder-coated) steel sheet from #prusa

Let's see whether this does the trick 😉

@abulling if you have the satin sheet that is my favourite for PETG and PLA prints. The textured sheet should work fine though! Just make sure your bed temps are above 70°c.

@PlumpCat I have that sheet as well - will give it a try next. Thanks!

Bed temperature is at 90 °C (#prusa default)

@teotwaki @PlumpCat It has worked out extremely well! I've only used the textured sheet for now and it was super easy to remove the PETG prints - as people were reporting.

Thanks everyone again!

@PlumpCat @teotwaki But the print quality is still worse for PETG - the surfaces are much smoother with PLA. Is that also the case for you?

I am using the default #prusa settings for both...

@abulling @PlumpCat You mean walls? Make sure your PETG isn't too wet. For overhangs/bridges, PETG isn't as great at those as PLA. Otherwise, no, I get excellent results from PETG.
