3D printing with my first spool of Elegoo Rapid PETG ( https://au.elegoo.com/products/rapid-petg-filament-1-75mm-colored-1kg ) bought at Jaycar , looking very clean and sharp on a slow speed profile

I should recalibrate my Overture PETG ( https://overture3d.com/products/overture-petg ) now that I've figured out the speed issues on my printer

Tbf, I had problems with exactly one brand repeatedly: eSun Of all the brands the one most people consider a safe bet gave me the most hazzle.

I absolutly used cheap brands as well and had no/less isues than with them.

Currenly heavily using Sunlu/Jayo (same brand) for PLA, extrudr , formfutura and black forest filaments for ASA, extrudr for the remaining technical stuff. Whatever's cheapest for PETG.
