What wall and infill settings did you use ?
No wall. I'd need to get back to you on infill. Auto supports. The thing looked perfect, but broke at a touch. Not very familiar with the slicing software, it's from FlashForge, dunno if I can use Cura with this printer, and I don't know yet how to go back to previous prints to access settings. But I guess I'm about to learn......Quote:

I bought Pete sheet for that.
Cura will work and most likely have your printer settings built in and you can select the filament type.Quote:

i use superslicer, prusaslicer, ideamaker and s3d depending on what i need to print but mainly superslicer these days
The roll of PET-G was brand new, delivered on Thursday.Quote:

The PLA print I tried went very well. But I only have two colours atm.

Oh joy. Another rabbit hole to get lost in......Quote:

All part of the adventure
I store mine in sealed boxes with silica gel these days
Your doing okay
I might try printing one in asa later today if I get a chance
Hmm. It was vacuum sealed, with a little pack of something that apparently I should not eat, direct from FlashForge. The various pieces of the cupholder I printed with it were fine, so maybe it's something I overlooked in the settings. Like I said, I'm a novice. Funny that the best place to look for advice on 3D printing is a forum dedicated to quirky British 4WDs.Quote:

ABS is hydrophilic like PETG and I rarely get issues with moisture causing delamination in prints. It also helps that I live in a relatively low humidity area. I have have baked the filament in the oven before, but I haven't had to do this for a few years now.
