Having Issues printing PETG.
Good day all, I have printed PETG before on the the PEI Sheet with hair spray with pretty good results. Yesterday I tried to print using the powder coated sheet with PETG and I can not get my first level to stick! I used glue stick, tried it bare, and I used the hair spray. Its a brand new roll just printed a benchy came out ok alot of stringing but still good.
Any advice?
Thank you in advance for you help.

RE: Having Issues printing PETG.
Have you set the first layer calibration for the powder coated sheet.
The powder coated and smooth sheets are different thicknesses.
The first layer calibration for the smooth sheet will not work for the textured sheet.
You can create a new profile for the textured sheet, then when you print you can choose whether which sheet you are using.
If you are using an i3 MK3S refer to the 3D Printing Handbook that came with the printer see (Page 43 Section 8.1 Steel Sheet Profiles) for more info.

Clean bed with dish soap.
Make a first layer calibration 100%.
Make a picture of your first layer.
