What is the smallest screw holes that PETG can comfortably print?

Hi, anybody printing objects with screw holes using PETG? For PLA, I can print M3 screw holes easily. How about PETG? What is the smallest diameter of holes that i3 MK3 can print using PETG?

I found the actual diameter that I printed successfully with PLA. Can the i3 MK3 print holes of 2.6mm or smaller nicely using PETG?

I can't tell you the smallest, but I print screw holes for M2 screws regularly (I use 1.95mm holes) and they work perfectly.  I usually use Prusament PETG because it's consistently awesome though I've also printed with MatterHackers Pro (which sucks btw) and Overture (also not great).
