I got PETG working on my Mini clone by basically just switching to 0.6 nozzle profiles from the wizard and using the generic PETG profile.

But, if you’re new to PETG, know that it gets real moisture sensitive, real fast. Sounds like you might benefit from trying to dry the filament out, check the web for more on that.

After making sure the filament was dry and that my initial layer is good, because changing nozzles means you need to fine tune the z offset again, I would print a retraction tower test and dial in retraction length settings.

That a good basic troubleshooting list.

I haven’t posted much to lemmy, but already from the title of this community, I would expect more negativity than average because ‘actually useful’ is relative and frankly, I cant be bothered to make my case. I guess I let my reddit experience, as somone there from it’s beginning when it started to take over digg, color my viewpoint of humanity on social networks.

I love the sentiment around this, and to be honest, i haven’t looked at software in this light even though i feel similarly about books and movies. Sometimes its good to just stop and let things be complete instead of endlessly tacking on more.

Go was my favorite mainstream language for GSD for years last decade. I was happy using it.

I came off a development ‘extended holiday’ by jumping into Rust dev over the last few months. I think I’m less happy. Though my software is arguably functionally better, even if I fucking despise the way it looks and reads.

Maybe I just never realized I’m a grug brained developer at heart.
