    PETG Print Quality Help

    Trying to improve print quality with my Custom COREXY machine
    Running PETG at 255 degrees, with 70 degree PEI Bed
    I have also run at 235 degrees with similar print quality

    Extruder is a Bondtech Mini Direct Bowden
    Bowden tube is aprox 400mm

    E3D V6 Bowden 1.75 with .4mm nozzle

    Simplify 3D Settings

    .40mm
    .89 Extrusion Multipler
    5.5mm retraction
    -0.1 Extra restart Distance
    0 Retraction lift
    60mm/sec retraction speed
    1mm Coasting
    3mm Wipe Distance

    .25mm Layers
    3 top layers
    3 bottom layers
    3 Perimiters

    30% Fill Honeycomb full
    100% infill width

    80mm Sec Speed
    80% outline speed
    80% infill speed

    1.71 Filament diameter
    Bridging extrusion multipler 90%
    Bridging speed multiplier 110%

    Perform retract duding wipe movement - enabled
    only wipe extruder for outer most perm - enabled
    Avoid crossing outline for travel Max allowed = 3mm

    Any tips would be appreciated.

    Is this your first print with this machine?
    The fact that there is spaghetti at the bow of the print would suggest that it is not entirely calibrated. I would suggest starting with a cube first, keep it simple.
    You could also try slowing it down and getting rid of the retraction.
