I never did try the PET+ at higher temps, but both ABS and PETG got noticeably stronger at 260. I think the PETG was slightly stronger than the ABS at that temp.
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

Maybe in Europe. Here in the U.S., it's far cheaper to get eSUN PETg from intservo. Only if you're really picky about color, the Form Futura red looks like a truer red than the eSUN ruby/magenta, the green looks a bit lighter than the eSUN (hard to tell from photos), and they have a smoky "transparent black" filament color.

I should try a Sharpie plus PETg. . . maybe a cheap way to expand the color range. I could design a little box that would sit where my dust filter does, and hold a spring-loaded Sharpie against the filament as it goes into the guide tube. . .
