Also, Im using Creality Slicer. What is a good nonbranded software? Like top-notch. And how do I earn 1 reputation? This 60 sec post thing is annoying

Thats a good question LOL. I dunno. I left it running while I was at work

If u see stuff on the side of the hull, thats cat hair. The cat loves going near the stupid printer

PETG @ 230 C. Its the best print yet!. There was a little sting inside the cabin. Thats it! Maybe drop it 5 deg?

That is esteps

I compared it to the first print and it actually looks alot better. The layers are more uniformed and color also. I think have it set at 135 for extrusion. I will drop it down to 130.

2nd print at 200c. Little better. What should I do next? Drop it more? Im not going to be using PLA. I am just using the sample that came with the printer. I have black PETG. Should I put that in and continue from there?

@RyanP What are you using for a slicer? I thought they are universal across all slicers. Im using Creality's
