Streaking on the surface finish of PETG print
Re: Streaking on the surface finish of PETG print
The stringing is occurring between those holes your see in pic, plus you can see larger trails that are forming in between each "cup". If I could get rid of those, along with the major streaking of course, it would make a picky client very happy

So, the results of re-leveling the bed, calibrating the extrusion multiplier, plus lowering the X/Y axis movement speed a bit is as follows:
This is the original Prilene filament I used in the first pic:
A small difference, but I guess the nozzle is still crashing into the built-up layer surrounding the holes..?
Here is the result using a different brand, Hatchbox:
An improvement -the streaking is still there, but less noticeable. The Hatchbox also has a deeper black and glossier finish.
I don't know what else to do, other than raising the nozzle head more when I level the bed? Dunno

I see the same results on many of my prints.. Not sure if it can be fixed.. maybe more Zlift?
