PETG Printing advice?
PETG Printing advice?
I'm pretty new to PETG, and have been really struggling with it compared to PLA. My latest print of this part is dimensionally accurate, but I need it to be air tight. It is very much not at the moment.
I have a Flashforge Adventurer 3, so the hot end and nozzle are one interchangeable unit. My higher temp nozzle is 0.6mm. My 0.3mm is only capable of 240. My last print was 0.2mm layers, with the 0.6mm nozzle at 245C. I used 15% overlap on my walls, and in order to keep my nice dimensions I had my cooling fan on.
Anybody have any advice on how to improve the seal? I'm tempted to try more overlap, with random start locations per layer. Do you think if I run it hotter I can get the layers a little thinner? Any advice would be appreciated.

Are you printing your own fountain pen grip sections? That's wild.
I haven't found a reason to get into 3D printing... but I do love fountain pens.
Have you joined the fountain pen community yet? We're pretty content starved.
Not yet. Is it on lemmy.world? Can you link it?
I haven't really done links on Lemmy yet.. can I just paste it? Let's see!
Edit: No, you do not just paste them. Hopefully that's better!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Trying to! The ultimate goal is a full pen. I'm thinking eyedropper filled, then lever filler.
That's badass. Please post updates on your project. I will follow your career with great interest.
