Any one tried printing PETG on unheated PEI? I'm getting annoyed dealing with blue painters tape and brims.

PEI works by far the best for me when hot. Have you tried gluestick?

I have printed PETG on heated PEI, but not unheated. With PLA I found that it adheres better to heated PEI than unheated, also the differential expansion probably makes it easier to separate the print when cool. So even when printing PLA, I heat the PEI bed.

Gotcha. Any chance you would be willing to print some PETG on cold PEI as a test for me?

Send me a PM a few days from now and I'll try to fit it in.
