I switched my hot end to print the custom filament drive in PETG
After setting the start height and finding what I thought was the perfect Extrude multiplier I printed the first half of a custom filament housing.
No delamination but on examination with loop I think I could bump EM up from .91 to .92 as there were some minor gaps between extrudes. You can see on the stepper half of the drive printed at .91 some small gaps which are more noticeable with a jewelers loop.

And this is the bearing half printed at .92 which has no gaps at all.. could be a bit over extruded but think either would be acceptable
