bad underside quality on PETG prints

Post by psd » Wed Aug 02, 2017 3:46 pm

Hello,

I have played with my settings so much for PETG, that I am now getting bad quality under any supports and bottom layers that are not in contact with the bed.

does anyone have specific support settings that could help or should I just go back to the initial PETG settings Jules posted and zero everything out?

thanks!

IMHO, the most significant factor in support/part interaction is layer thickness. I always use one separation layer top and bottom.
If supported build is sloppy, reduce layer thickness.
If bond between support and the part is excessive, increase your layer thickness.
