    Yes, I would really like to hear your results if you do.

    Yes, I can see how the Rough surface of filament could Help it going thru extruder,
    more friction at feed-gear should really help, also.

    Seems to be Great layer-adhesion at 200C,
    I do have it going a little slower when doing outer-walls, with a small size nozzle (.3mm).

    Filament hung-up twice on this spool, so far, when it got trapped at outer edge of spool.

    I like PETG Much Better than ABS !
    I like Any filament Better than ABS ! LOL

    you prob know this already but when removing filament from your printer NEVER let the end of the filament go. if filament gets tangled, 99.9% of the time its from the user letting the end of the filament go when removing the spool from the printer. i hear ya on the abs.

    PETG is much flexible , I print at 230 deg in nozzle, and 100 deg in heat bed.
    No cracking at all

    I really should try PETG sometime.

    Here is what that one looks like. I just now printed the wheels, so you can see a few cat whiskers that need to be cleaned up on the wheels:
