** Due to this filament build-up on the outside of the printhead, any print that could be described as a "highly shaped bock of plastic" will probably work. It is prints where the head constantly moves over open air (no plastic under the head), that melted PETG dropping off the outside of the printhead will probably cause the print to fail. | ** Due to this filament build-up on the outside of the printhead, any print that could be described as a "highly shaped bock of plastic" will probably work.

* To print with PETG, start with a '''clean''' nozzle; and the 1st layer (inside the Brim) needs to be perfect. | * To print with PETG, start with a '''clean''' nozzle; and the 1st layer (inside the Brim) needs to be perfect. | ||
* There are suggestions on the Internet about MG Chemicals PETG is brittle compared to other PETG filaments. So anything that would be "fragile" (too easy to break) when printed with PLA, could also be "fragile" when printed with this PETG. | |||
