Fix My Print First time printing petg
I’m printing on an Ender 3 Pro with quite a few mods. In the photo, PETG is on the left and PLA is on the right. I opened the PETG today and started printing with it immediately, but it has some strange surface artifacts, as shown in the picture. I’ve never had any issues printing PLA, only PETG so far. I’m guessing I probably just need to get a filament dryer lol.
