So today I decided I'd have aplay with pet-g.
I have aroll of creality white pet-g that I believe I bought by accident.
Pretty sure it was really cheap and I was out of white pla and just clicked without checking.
So bed temp 85c.
Made a little model for testing purposes. It's a 7 minut print with one piece inside a larger version. Got some gentle underhangs and overhangs and the gap tests retractions.
First print was 240c and 50mm/s.
I've kept my retraction and fan settings from pla.
First print - looks great, zero stringing stuck to the bed like a limpet and came off easily when cool.
I am really liking this sheet of PEI.
Actual strength of the print is not brilliant, about the same as pla- but you can peel layers as well.
Second print up to 250c and two models a decent way apart on the build plate.
still 50mm/s.
Well ! colour me impressed.
Zero stringing, really strong prints - much mangling with pliers and no layer seperation, just squashed plastic.
Really clean sharp transition areas from one model to the other.
Either this pet-g is not normal or it's really not as tricky to print as I've been led to believe :-0
Let's see what it will do at 100mm/s :-)
