  • PETG is picky about layer heights and speed.

    Thick and slow for PETG. I usually double my layer height vs what I would print in PLA. With my .6 nozzle I print with .3 layer and cut my speed down to 50% for the first layer. Since you said it happens mid print you might be printing too fast for the first few layers and it is getting too high because the layer is not cooling enough and it starts curling. You can also try reducing flow if your nozzle is worn and it’s allowing more plastic than the sclicer expects which will cause too high layers and scraping.

    Oh and it sounds like it’s too hot too. 80° bed in a enclosure could cause the chamber to get too hot and not allow the layers to cool fast enough and so you will see curling while printing. Lower the bed to 40-50 and monitor chamber temps. Maybe open the doors a crack. You only need an enclosure for PETG if the room is drafty.


  • Equal opportunity employer?

    All federal agencies are covered by the laws enforced by EEOC.

    The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforces Federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. These laws protect employees and job applicants against employment discrimination when it involves:

    • Unfair treatment because of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, transgender status, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.
    • Harassment by managers, co-workers, or others in the workplace, because of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.
    • Denial of a reasonable workplace accommodation that the employee needs because of religious beliefs, disability, or pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.
    • Retaliation because the employee complained about job discrimination, or assisted with a job discrimination investigation or lawsuit.
