Printing Parameters

Complete Technical Printing Guide - PETG HIGH FLOW

🌡️ 1. Material Preparation

Filament Drying (CRUCIAL):

📏 Temperature: 55°C
⏱️ Minimum time: 1 hour
💡 Proper drying is essential for optimal printing results

⚡ 2. Understanding Print Speed

Volumetric vs. Linear Speed

🌊 Volumetric Speed (mm³/s): Like water through a hose - measures how much plastic flows per second, regardless of nozzle size.
📏 Linear Speed (mm/s): Like walking speed - how fast the printer head moves across the print area
🔑 Key Formula: Linear Speed = Volumetric Speed / (Line Width × Layer Height)

✨ The Magic: When you set a volumetric speed limit in your slicer, it automatically calculates and adjusts all linear speeds (perimeters, infill, etc.) based on your current nozzle size and layer height. This ensures consistent material flow regardless of your print settings!

⚙️ 3. Basic Parameters

Nozzle	Layer Height	Line Width	Volumetric Speed	Temperature

0.8mm	0.4mm	0.82mm	56.0 mm³/s	252°C
1.0mm	0.5mm	1.02mm	87.5 mm³/s	255°C

Large Parts: 80°C

❄️ 7. Cooling Settings

Cooling Configuration:

Fan Speed Settings:
- First Layer: 0% (fan off)
- General Printing: 40% fan speed
- Bridges and Overhangs: 70% fan speed
- Layers < 30 seconds: 70% fan speed
Advanced Settings:
- Keep Fan Always On: YES
- Force Fan Speed for Overhangs: YES
- Minimum Layer Time: 30 seconds
- Force Fan Speed for Small Perimeters: YES
Additional Cooling Notes:
- Enable gradual fan speed increase after first layer
- Increase fan speed for small detailed parts
- Consider reducing fan speed for better layer adhesion if needed
- Monitor overhangs and bridge quality to adjust fan speed

🔧 8. Troubleshooting Guide

Problem	Solution
Irregular extrusion	1. Dry the filament 2. Check extruder 3. Reduce speed
Poor adhesion	1. Dry the filament 2. Use adhesive 3. Adjust first layer
Stringing	1. Dry the filament 2. Adjust retraction 3. Increase travel speed 4. Check temperature

✨ 9. Best Practices

🌡️ Storage & Material Care:
- Keep PETG in a dry environment (humidity < 50%)
- Use a dry box or sealed container with desiccant
- If needed, dry at 65°C for 4-6 hours
🔧 Hardware Recommendations:
- Use hardened steel nozzle for long-term printing
- PEI or glass bed surface recommended
- Enclosure helpful but not mandatory
⚙️ Print Setup Tips:
- Use Z-offset slightly higher than PLA (+0.05mm)
- Enable "Avoid crossing perimeters" to reduce stringing
- Consider using "Wipe while retract" option
- Enable "Slow down for small perimeters"
🎯 Quality Optimization:
- Print outer walls slower for better quality
- Use minimum layer time of 30 seconds for small parts
- Enable cooling gradually after first layer
- Consider using "Extra Prime Amount" after retraction

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: These printing parameters are initial recommendations based on our experience. They may need adjustment depending on your specific 3D printer, environmental conditions, and the geometry of the part you are printing. Use these settings as a starting point and fine-tune them according to your specific needs.
