How to 3d Print PETG Reliably and Safely

One of the more common questions I receive from my viewers is how to print with PETG. In this video, I will discuss when to use PETG vs PLA, the safety of printing with PETG, and how to properly set up your printer to print PETG. Any 3d printer that can print at 230C and has a heated print bed that can reach 80c is able to print PETG you just need to know the tips in this video.

The following Google slide deck has the material reference in this video including the startup gcode for Cura version 4.X.
