It must be just the blue. I figured out green: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/22401881

This may have been it. Thanks! ref: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/22401881

Holy crap. So I tried a pack of the Green PETG (still Kingroon) and the first print didn’t go well. It didn’t like .3mm on a .4mm nozzle.

This happened:

A bit of a clog and other weirdness.

I took the default Cura PETG settings for .4mm nozzle, swapped to .2mm (fast) default settings then set fan to 50% and temperature to 230C… I got a beautiful benchy:

It’s beautiful.

I guess it seems like maybe something is just wrong with that roll of blue…

Makes me wonder if a Bambu or some other more set/forget kind of printer would have been able to print it somehow. Maybe I’ll try again one day.

Thanks everyone so much for all.

Interestingly, I tried the Kingroon green PETG and it looked ok at first then seemed to clog-ish.

It pretty much self clogged a few layers in. So about the same?

What should I see differently with retraction off? Like it failed but what should I look for then try next?

For good measure I tried going direct from the dryer to the hot end (and just left a piece in the runout sensor to have it not trip). More/less the same problems: https://imgur.com/a/65jzAQv … I stopped it early since it was failing terribly. Otherwise was using default cura generic PETG settings on .3mm per layer with .4mm nozzle.

What’s the recommendation to fix under extrusion? I tried changing the flow in cura to 102 then later to 118… no obvious differences.

I instead tried printing directly from the spool holder immediately after taking it out of the dryer. Same thing happened. I doubt it could have moisture-d up that fast for it to make a difference

Should I try a different one? I think all I have are Kingroon PETGs. I got them from a bundle of 10: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806452989007.html … I have different colors though.

In a similar vein if you apply to a job, do you prefer being ghosted or a rejection email?

As a serious question: would you rather no email when no updates or an email saying no updates?

I guess I’d rather the email to not wonder if something got lost or some other issue.

Now the multiple in one day: I can’t really defend. That seems nutty. Maybe they should let you choose how often to get the given update.

Where’s the I did that stickers and artificial blame?

Why does that only go one way?

99/100 people will not care. I’m one of them.

For that 1/100: sure it’s infuriating but probably more than mildly.

If I ever watch one Mr. Bean YouTube video, all my suggestions become Mr. Bean. I mean he’s ok but they literally have the same video uploaded to multiple channels with slightly different names.

Give me more different Mr. Bean. Stop repeating the Bean.

It’s one of those things that are pretty annoying. Especially because you often need to login before starting the chat. The login should have authenticated me already.

Also in case anyone wonders they didn’t reply after 20 minutes so I gave up.

I’m a fan of those foot things that exist in some places now to pull the door open. Though every time I use one, I fear for a moment that if someone enters the bathroom at the same time I’m leaving, I’ll fall on my face.

I would have thought the something is wrong category would catch all here.

Maybe there should be a miscategorized option or similar.

Three dots in the corner. Click to report the job, pick the category it falls into.

Believe it or not: people do eventually see reports at some level.
