I'm having terrible print quality with PETG. I'm using 3d Solutech PETG. I can get good consistent first layer sticking and anything that is printed in vase mode come out great. The issues arise when you try to print anything with infill is where the trouble starts to appear. I'm having a terrible blobbing issue when the infill starts to print. There are blobs being deposited in pretty much the same spots and PETG collecting on the nozzle. The problem gets worse as the layers go higher. Whenever there is a direction change is where the problem is most apparent.
I'm not sure what settings I need to start with. I've been trying speed, nozzle temp, and FAN. Nothing seems to reduce the blobbing to a point where I'm getting successful prints. The only thing I have not done much with is the retraction distance and speed.
I'm printing between 215 and 230 degrees. Nothing seems to help with the blobbing. Stringing isn't too bad. My PLA prints are fine.
