First of all, thank you. I was in tears as I desperately typed into RUclips “PETG help.” Nothing was going well. I launched Cura and said to myself, “the nice man in the video said to do this.” I got a great print after using all your recommended settings! Thanks again!
You are very welcome. Stay tuned for more!
This comment is very encouraging 😁🙏
Had the exact same feeling, was about to chuck my filament out a window after half a spool, and now I have a benchy and it shockingly came out clean as my PLA prints! I was at least expecting machine variation (I have ender 3 pro) or some brand variables to kill me once again. You’ve saved us so much grief. Listen to the nice man everyone!
This is why youtube is the best
Year later... agreed!
just wanted to say thank you, I've been having a lot of problems with printing PETG and every single time i go back to this video and it helps where i went wrong. simple straight forward. easy settings. gentle voice. and even thou my prints fail. i now know how to prevent it and correct my errors. you have helped me so much and i almost just wanted to give up this hobby b/c of how frustrating it is. also thank you for replying, its helpful when people reach back to you.
You are very welcome.
Great tutorial! Im new to 3D printing myself and had trouble with printing PETG on my new ender 3 V3 SE. Used most of the same settings and now my PETG prints come out looking great, no more stringing!
Glad it was helpful!
i have ender 3 v3 SE too, do you print PETG directly on the build plate or with painter tape or something else?
Amazing video, cured all my PETG issues in one go just a little alteration here and there and I'm having good prints everytime. Many thanks.
Thanks for the tips! I was having issues trying PETG for my first time after doing only PLA successfully for 3 months. PETG wasn't sticking. I see now I should lower my fan speed and slow it down a bit.
Glad to help... be sure to subscribe.
@@tr3nDmaker You got it!
Thank you for telling that petg is thick. It wasn't sticking to my head the "go slow" part until i understood why
You are welcome... be sure to subscribe for more 3D videos.
2 years later I just had the same “a-h! moment”. Thanks for the content @tr3nDmaker!
prints well on my bambu with 200mm/s 😅
I’ve been struggling with PETG and gave up. I’ve tried again with your settings and had a successful print. Cheers
Holy crap! Than you soo much, I was struggling with printing strong, properly laminated and detailed parts. After applying your settings there was almost no tweaking needed. Saved the day! Thanks so much
..and went to 0.6 nozzle for even better results
Thank you..just followed your recommendations now im printing PETG really nice ...
That make me very happy to hear. Please subscribe for 3D printer videos. Working on 2 for Lithographs now.
Wish I could like this video a thousand times. Finally a video with REAL help with PETG!
Many thanks. Stay tuned for many more vids on 3d printing.
Followed these instructions and was able to print my best print ever!! Great vid!!
Man alive I have been struggling with PETG doing bridging on the temp towers.. I'll give your settings a try. Thanks. Nice quick and to the point. Glad you used Cura to compare.
How did it work out?
Glad to help… let me know how it went t.
@@tr3nDmaker Apologies for the belated reply. I have not gotten to the PETG settings I'd like yet. I'd say they are acceptable and I printed a fairly OK object which curled up off the glass mirror bed in one corner, but was useable. I don't quite look as good as my PLA prints yet. Well, one thing is that PETG has gotten me tweeking settings that I had never ventured into before and got me thinking about what the printer is actually doing. I reduced the Cura acceleration defaults from 3000mm/s/s to 700 mm/s/s and the Jerk from 20 to 7. (I didn't realise how crazy high the default is set at )I don't think this affects the stringing but at least the machine does not go ballistic on fast travel moves now. My PETG is from South Africa, called SA Filament. Its PLA is excellent, but the PETG seems to be giving me better prints at 220C with fan at 70% rather than the 235-255C they recommend. I went up and down the temp scale from 210~285C and the fan scale from 0~100% speed. Apparently the colour of PETG can vary its response as well. In my case the colour is Copper, but I'd say it is more like the colour of std pot-plant brown. My bed temp seems to stick OK at 70C when I lay down the initial layer with fan off at 245C but I reduce temp after that and turn the fan on between 40~70C, as I was getting bad blobbing before at hotter with fan off, which has now stopped.
Thank You! I was getting very frustrated and inventing new cuss words. Your settings made a great improvement. I see this video is over a year old. Hope you haven't stopped putting out content!
I did stop for a while… but, I have been working on new content all week.
Thank you mate. I am really used to PLA and TPU, only recently I started with PETG. Its material properties really appeals to me, possibly the best of the two worlds, ABS and PLA. But man I struggled with stringing and the answer laid on speed. 30mm/sec is slow but clearly on the safer side. As you have said PETG doesn't like speed and that's is totally true. Thanks again and really good video.
I love PETG... It is worth the wait on slow printing. The ultimate solution is to buy more printers!
@@tr3nDmaker you can get ender 3's on ebay for like 100$ US(probably will need mods to work properly if they messed it up,). i'm planning on picking up a few that way and mod them to a dual z belt system or a 45 degree conveyor belt to churn out some parts. petg is too attractive of a filament for me. the dream is a conveyor belt ender 3 farm someday lol
@or3n_ I got an ender 3 s1 for like 150... those are dual steppers for the z axis and they seem to be on sale on and off on places like ebay
I was super skeptical but it truly is working with my print, i got this amazing first layer now. Thatnk you!
You are very welcome… stay tuned for more videos!
That little footnote at 4:26 really helped me. I was getting a lot of clicking from my extruder and after a couple of minutes of the clicking starting, I would get a jam. It's great to know that it was related to the print speed.
Glad it helped. I am working on 3 new videos now.
Hey buddy, just wanted to thank you for the info on PETG parameters. I was pulling my hair out. After incorporating your setting made a wonderful difference. Thanks again my friend. I may hit you up later on as I am new to 3D printing but have used Cad and Coreldraw in sign making so this is my new venture. Keep up the great work!!
I am glad you found my video helpful.
Great advice hit the nail on the head, had fantastic prints after following your advice, I have spent ages getting PETG to work, you had all the right answers, thanks!
You are very welcome.
I had been struggling with PETG for some time now and your help made all the difference. Thank you for this video!
Glad to help!
One thing you might want to point out, which I learned the hard way: Bed levelling. When I dove into PETG, I used Curas default settings for a brand PETG, figuring it was well in the range of the filaments specifications. I noticed quickly however that the first layer would not adhere to the bed though. While I had just levelled the bed the day before, and the PLA print I did before worked just fine, it took me a while to come up with the idea to just push the bed up a little bit furter - turns out this was all that was needed!
Yea I am finding that different types of filament need a different amount of squish to adhere. I think I might stick with petg as my go to if all things go well in the next dozen prints or so. Any recommendations on a filament that will be good in handheld electronics? I think petg can withstand the heat and abuse but I havent gotten to test it yet.
DUDE I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE!!! The first time i printed PETG taught me to always re-level my bed when switching materials, and to invest in drying stuff like a good dehydrator lol. Rn im prob gonna use exclusively PETG because im trying to print functional parts to mod my dart (nerf) blasters
I've inserted the M29 line so that the machine always autolevels before doing a print.
I tape the bed and smear it with glue stick. PETG sticks to everything, and I've heard of people pulling chunks out of a glass bed with PETG. A disposable bed cover is much cheaper.
@@freman007 have heard about the glue trick, yet never tried it out.
I wish I had seen this video at the beginning of last year, Very comprehensive!
Thank you. Working on more videos as we speak.
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been printing with PLA for six years but recently got a couple of spools of PETG to print ecto-1 details for the roof rack of my Cadillac. I’ve spent hours trying to get it to work, but I had awful bed adhesion. I copied your settings to a t onto my Wanda’s Duplicator i3, and it started printing perfectly right away.
Glad it was helpful!
thanks a lot! your settings helped me to solve many problems. the last thing I had to adjust was the distance between the nozzle and the bed/top surface of what is being printed. it was too tight, and it caused the material to blob. I'm finally on the right direction to improve my petg printings.
Trying these settings out right now with orca slicer, I've been having some issue printing PETG on my Neptune 4 Plus and have finally gotten it to stick to the build plate so I hope these seiings are the sprinkles on the cake I need to get my prints looking good :D
Fantastic video! Well done! 👍👍👍
thanks... I am working on 3 new videos right now.
Awsome soooooo much help you saved my printer from the trash thank you!
Thanks for explaining all these settings, very helpful. Now to see how she goes..
Good Luck and Print Slow to start.
You just helped me tremendously with my first pet-g print, thanks!
absolutely saved my butt with this video….. now i can get back into printing! thanks !
Glad I could help.
Thank you. Your help was very detailed and enabled me to easily print with PETG. Thanks!
So happy to help!
Thank you for the concise video showing the print parameters and explaining why they're chosen for PETG. I was trying to print too fast so I was having bed adhesion issues on PEI and print quality issues. I've printed a lot of TPU, ABS and PLA, and I'm looking forward to finally adding PETG to the mix. I don't know why I waited so long. Maybe ASA next. :-)
thanks for the help with the settings, its helped me so much with PETG
Glad it helped!
wow thank you so much for being so detailed on every setting! Super helpful. Trying my first PETG prints in the next week or so when my spool gets here. Subscribed!
You are very welcome!
I was struggling trying to print petg but you helped me out so much. Its coming out great now
glad to help.
Awesome thank you so much! Its so frustrating when first starting out and its tutorials like yours that help so much. Thanks :)
You are very welcome… many more to come!
Awesome, myguy!
I looked up the best filament before buying and have been using Petg for about a week. Didn't know there was much of a difference. Just followed the Temps that the roll said bit have had some issues. Your tips will help, ty!❤
Great to hear!
Thanks. It worked flawlessly after following your advice
Great to hear!
Thanks a lot, your profile works very well
Thank you. you don’t know how many hours and how many retraction towers and temperature towers I printed and made no progress until now
thank you, thank you, thank you, I copied all the settings in your video with the exception of my sprite extruder settings and voila - perfect print, slow and steady seems to do it for sure .
Glad it helped!
Thank you, also normally I dont subscribe when someone asks me to but for this I had to it was such a good video thanks.
For some reason, I had problems with these settings. I found out different and they work great.
What setting did you use? I would like to see what you are using.
This is a good vid! I had issues with adhesion and slowing down the first 2 layers and turning off fan for first 3 layers and then only fan at 30% worked like charm. I also used the stick glue on my glass board
Going to try this. Hopefully it works and sticks to my glass bed.
I print a 0.2mm layer level five squares block print and measure the thickness of the layer with a vernier. Then I adjust the level, reprint, .... till I get 0.2mm. Sticks very well with 245C on a 70~75C bed for the first layer. Fan Off. I drop the temperature after the first layer. No glue required.
thx! that helped a lot. Saved me a lot of filament.
Here we go my first PETG prints!
How did it go?
You fixed my stringy infill issues. Thank you!
Glad I could help.
Incredible video, very short and informative. This profile works great for me 😉 Thank you for your time
You are very welcome.
Like many other comments I need to say thank you! I was having a really hard time dialing in for PETG.
You are very welcome. Glad to help. More videos coming soon.
Very helpful tips. Thank you! Turns out print speed and infill speed seems to be my issue. Now printing a big ender dragon for my son.
Glad to be of help...
9.5/10
Wow, thanks for the video brother. I'm having issues with my first PETG print on my Shark V2. I'll try tweaking all the settings you mentioned in this awesome video.
you are welcome
dude this petg video is great I think you just saved my bacon!
Glad I could help!
Hi copied all you setting and prints come out perfect but for some reason it wont let me change the infill % and is greyed out now and in the settings its ticked so ??? can you help
Thanks for this ... very helpful information. I have got it running again, but mine is still giving a few small issues. Does perfect PLA prints. must be some setttings.
Thank you as well. I have a Benchy worth showing people and I am one the right track for better PETG+ prints.
Glad to help… thanks for watching!
Try FR4 bed sheet at 75 degrees. Petg temp at 250 for first layer, 10mm/s raise z nozzle by additional 50% of layer height
Thanks soo much, Now I can work with PETG very well
you are welcome.. be sure to sub!
I like the channel I just started with 3d printing I am trying to use PETG which is difficult I have the same printer as the video the CR10S pro and I hope I can achieve the setting this is the filament that I use is the sunlu which would be the best setting
Follow my exact settings and temps and you should be PERFECT.. REMEMBER... Print very slow to start and with a little practice start bumping up speed 5mms at a time. Be sure to Sub!
Very informative. Would you have a picture or file or something that has your Cura settings for PETG? I want to be able to type and or set the values before I start. Thank you kindly.
great content super informative and now I'm ready to print some PETG!
My favorite filament.
Short sweet and too the point, excellent info. Im subscribing.
Thanks. I have 3 new vids I am working on...
From pla to petg what should we set your z offset as? Cause my nozzle it as for pla? My 1st layer is too to close to the bed for petg. Thanks!
Kind of depends on how perfect your gap is for PLA... I typically can run the same. I level the bed strictly by eye though, and adjust on skirt. Only use paper or gauge if teaching technique. However, most find a bit more gap works better... some it a bit less. If glass...use glue stick. If textured or glass watch first layer...run 15mms SUPER SLOW to see if getting good bite to bed. 60-70 on temp is fine. Adjust and remember what works for you... Good Luck. I love PETG!
@@tr3nDmaker thanks for the fast reply! Some youtubers won’t reply until months later. If you run the same as pla so that means your layer height is at 0.2? I heard some people say to run ii more then pla like 0.28 which maybe that’s where my problem is? 1st layer looks like its too close and some in the filament is gets stuck on the nozzle? U have a Facebook group? Or Facebook we can message faster? Again thanks! I can really use the help!
@@mackue8913 .2mm layer is great for PETG. PETG is thick and flows slowly... so thicker liner means slow also. I like .12, .16 and .2 for PLA. My in progress R2D2 is .24, but sanding and painting is required
Facebook: tr3nD maker
Not really a group, but good for sending pics of prints or issues
Just curious, where are you getting a megagram roll of petg? All joking aside this video was awesome and filled with great information since I'm switching from pla to petg
Awesome vid man!!!!! keep at it!!!!!!! Quadruple thumbs up 👍👍👍👍
thank you... I am working on a bunch of vids posting soon.
Thanks for sharin your knowledge and experience... most apreciated... really clear really good video
Thanks... I have a bunch of vids coming soon.
Great vid. I got a good PETG part with temp 225, layer height 0.16mm, speed 50mm/sec, 100 fan, build plate adehsion temp 70 degrees (white glue). I am going to try these settings.
Helped me also with PCTG printing. Stringing is reduced and quality now is much better.
Glad I could help out.
@@tr3nDmaker Thank you very much!
Your video really helped me the surfaces are quite smooth and everything holds perfectly on the print bed but I still have the problem of small spots appearing and some transitions look quite bad
I am currently using the Elegoo Neptune 4 as my printer
Try backing down your retraction and see if that looks better. Too much retraction often causes gaps.
Nice video, very clear in basic concept for PETG material for me. ^^
Thanks... If you have any issues... just add a comment... I will try to help.
Great video. 10/10. Also sweet sweater!
Thanks.
Hi Alex! I just found your channel and I really like your videos! Thank you for the useful informatiin and please keep going!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I will do. thanks.
Thanks for such a helpful video, im finally printing PETG nicely after watching this, however..... i am getting horrendous stringing all over the print, do you have any videos or tips to get rid of that?
What is your retraction and speed? travel acceleration? temp? printer?
Thank you, this worked perfectly with Ender-3 S1 Pro
You are very welcome… how do you like the s1? Thinking about getting the Plus and selling my Tornado.
Thanks a lot, my PETG print used to have really weak infill 😅
Glad I could help!
improved my print thanks
You are very welcome.
i've been trying to print petg using kingroon kp3s with big flat dimension, i think around 15x12 cm. the first layer seems not always stick correctly, so when the second layer got print, the nozzle will pull the first layer, i've try several ways, but it doesn't help. it only help if I print 1 way only, in top/bottom line directions for for [0, 180], so it will stick one way only, but i want really normal cross printing direction.. maybe need to buy more expensive 3d printer?
I'm a noob, I'm trying out petg to build some wall drill battery mounts. Is there a way to get a list of your settings??
Very helpful! Thanks so much!
You're welcome!

Thanks man, more of these vids please :)
You are welcome... posting a video early this week on Leveling Bed.
Your settings cleaned up my prints so much, thanks for sharing. You have anything on supports?
Thanks for watching… great vid idea… I am getting back to new videos.
Wow. U R Awesome. I was about ready to throw my Artillery Genius Pro in the river.
You are welcome.
Boy am I struggling to print petg. I’m a novice at printing but with minimal effort my pla prints are perfect. Im yet to have a single successful print with petg. Going to try your settings in the morning and will report back. Thanks for the video👍
PETG is thick and likes to print slowly. Really like to hear how it goes for you…
One major thing is moisture, if you put your petg in the oven at around 70 degrees for like 12 hours or so before printing you will get much less stringing and problems from the print.
I was struggling also, even after drying my filament. Used his settings and printing good now!
Great video!
Hi, Do you have a video of PETG Support Settings, I am struggling with supports and adhesion. My finished face that has sat on the support seems really stringy. I'm using a CR10S Pro V2 and Cura 5.0.Any help would be great as your videos are so easy to follow.
Overture PETG on my ender 3 max -
240° Nozel (recommended 230 - 250)
80° bed (recommended 70-90)
print speed is 30mm/s
My extruder is knocking and chewing through the material causing it to break at the entrance to the Boden Tube.. I've slowed it down by 50% using the knob while printing and the knocking is still an issue
The first layer always prints perfectly, everything after is always knocking.
2 suggestions… 1) add a bit more gap when leveling bed. It is thick and lays thick. On second layer it can struggle to extrude. 2) slow it to 15mms across the board. Then try 20, 25 etc. till you are happy with print quality vs speed. I often print at 20mms, but it is super strong and perfect looking.
@@tr3nDmaker I dont know if this sounds weird or not... But I just leveled my bed with a piece of paper until it just barely pinches, and then gently nudged the level down a hair, but when I go to print all the sudden my printer is printing mid air... For god knows what reason, PETG is the only material that causes my printer to behave like this..
@@teddy5004 The only time I see something like this... is when something is loose and is shifting or moving upon printing. The slower speeds may be exaggerating movement. Check your eccentric nuts... Bed, X carriage and axis should be snug and not shift or wobble.
@@tr3nDmaker Thanks!!
@@tr3nDmaker It was my X Axis! The wheel was so loose you could wiggle the right side of the X axis up and down by a quarter inch 😂😂😂
Thanks man! I never would have guessed... I trusted this thing right out of the box and it worked for a good several prints before this...
Excellent recommendations, had quite a few problems, but it has worked perfect now. What about PETG Supports Video? Do you have the settings for supports with PETG?
Thank you so much🙏
I use Creality slicer. Do you believe Cura slicer has advantages?
Thanks.Useful information.
You are welcome.
thank you!
that was very helpfull👍
You are welcome. Glad you liked video.
Cant your share cura profile for PETG?
Was looking for a video to send to someone who is struggling with petg. Looks like this will work!
I find on my vzbot i have to print at 250-260c for petg but thats because i run it at 100mm/s anything less and the prints dont have any structure.
My enders like about 230-235c at default speeds.
very helpful :)
you are welcome
THANK'S A LOT WORKS FINE!!!
Very helpful video, as a nooby in 3D printing i want to learn as much as i can. I have one request for you though. Pls. talk a little slower lol. As a Dutch man i can understand you pretty good, but sometimes it goes a little bit to fast. I've been printing with PLA for a while now and i'm going for the next steps to print with other filaments to try to get stronger prints since PLA will bend and warp over time when there is a little tension and/or a little heat on it.
PETG is a really excellent filament.... A bit slower to print, but worth it. I thing PLA+ is great as well.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing, sir, although it's still not clear how Fan speed helps achieve decent bridging.
Filament out of the nozzle is molten and sags with gravity. If you cool it fast, it cools as soon as comes out if the nozzle and allow it to bridge better.
@@tr3nDmaker this is really logical and helpful sir, I sincerely appreciate your response. Would try it out.
Opinions on an enclosure? I found I would get clogs with PLA, so I kept my enclosure open for PLA. PETG I've tried closed, but still clogs. I figured closed would be a bit better, but currently trying your settings along with an opened enclosure now. Hope it works!
Also, I understand the speed has to be quite slow, but my benchy is going to take me nearly 4hrs according to Cura... Is that accurate? Seems like a long time.
Thanks for your video! Will let you know how it turns out.
PETG is thicker, so it likes it a bit slower. My settings in video, should get people printing successfully. The idea is to work up to speed till good compromise on speed, quality and reliability.
Biggest issue for petg newbies is they go too fast and clog.
Enclosure should help, but I never used one.
For speed, keep infill simple and perimeters can typically go faster. Ince petg is flowing it is ok. Higher temp help with speed, but can get stringy.
bout to try this. fingers crossed
You should be fine... Follow directions and print slow.
@@tr3nDmaker its till printing, looks good so far. thanks.
@@eggsandwhichian how did it come out?
@@tr3nDmaker sorry for the late reply, the settings worked, thanks. but i tried printing something else and idk but it never stuck so I'm re watching to make sure i didn't accidently change anything.
