PETG settings for the Prusa MINI+
Great match
These are tuned starting settings for printing PETG on the Prusa MINI+. The Prusa MINI+ has a Bowden extruder and an all-metal hotend, so we set the hotend to 240°C and the bed to 80°C. PETG is strong and weather-resistant but strings easily, so tune retraction and keep the fan low.
