Wow, this black PETG from ESUN is great to print with. A few rolls showed up on Amazon and I snatched them up. Looks like its back in stock on June 20th.
Edit: I should have mentioned in the first place, this is the head for Froggy by the ever talented @Louise_Driggers
0.1920 layer height, 255C @ 45mm/s, 0.5mm extrusion width, 7.5mm retract at 60mm/s, 0.3mm coast to end, no active cooling, 10% infill, 2 perimeters, minimum layer time disabled, 75C bed, manual support placement in simplify3d, extrusion multiplier tuned with the single perimeter cube method, 1.003 scale factor for PETG shrink via 20x20 cube calibration.
@Eric_LeFort yes. PETG is essentially T-glass which is known for the wet look. Also like I said in an earlier post the interlayer adhesion is crazy. I cannot tear a single wall 20x20 cube without incredible effort by hand. This stuff is strong.
@Eclsnowman thanks for the heads up on the preorders. I grabbed myself 6 spools lol. Don’t you just love how it can look like a lower layer height than you’re actually printing at?
@Daniel_Fielding Tell your software the filament is exactly 1.75mm and print a single wall cube with no top fill and a known extrusion width (I use 0.50mm). Once printed measure the wall thickness, is it what you set it at? If not take desired/actual-measured and put that in for your extrusion multiplier (example you measure 0.52mm so 0.5/0.52 = 0.961 extrusion multiplier) . Then reprint and check. Is it correct now?
@Daniel_Fielding Don’t use a model with a thin wall. Take a solid 20x20 cube STL, set perimeters to 1, bottoms to 1 or 2, tops to zero, infill to zero.
