Using Fusion 360, Repetier Host with Cura Slicer, Tronxy P108.
First time using PETG. See attached photo. Are the settings too hot, too cold, layers too thin.
Bed @ 70c, Nozzle @ 215c as suggested by supplier.

I'm guessing its way to cold. I print it at 240-250c. Yours must be a special blend?

Using Repetier Host v0.92 with Cura slicer.

This was printed at 250c.
I'm wondering if the print speed is too fast to cover the infill properly.
If so, how is the print speed controlled?
Or, suggestions on this will be appreciated.

How is support controlled?

I have watched several videos on Youtube and none go into specifics.

How many solid top-layers are there? The first solid layer often looks like that.
You can start Cura directly ( not in Repetier window) and set it to expert mode. You'll find many settings to tweak your print.
When you've found a good setting, save the profile and use it when you run Cura through Repetier again.

Increasing you infill percentage will help. It will give the first layer some support to stop the sagging and more area to stick to.
