PETG flow

Test prints / PETG: strength and fits

A single-wall cube: its wall should measure one extrusion width.

Toolpaths

Every extrusion move in the G-code, layer by layer. Drag the layer slider, scrub through the top layer, or play the print.

Read from the G-code that the printer gets. The clock adds each move at its programmed speed, without acceleration or travel, so it is shorter than the slicer's estimate.

Settings

On top of the stack that the print jobs load. The printer tuning page shows that stack.

Procedure

What it is for. It sets the extrusion multiplier for PETG. Over-extruded PETG is what makes bores tight.

Print. Print in the PETG you fly.

Measure. Measure the wall on all four faces, at mid-height, with calipers.

Pass. The wall equals the extrusion width, 0.45 mm. If it does not, new extrusion multiplier = 1.00 × 0.45 / measured.

Record. The four readings and the new extrusion multiplier.
