Hey all, so this is the biggest thing I’ve tried to print. I’m using PETG. I’m getting a lot of repetitive bands of underextrusion that seem to stack up and get worse as the print progresses.

What do you think is causing this? Is this just an inherent thing in the way an Ender 3 works by moving the bed?

    I second “not hot enough”. The PETG lists it’s ideal temp as 230 on the reel, but it seems to need closer to 245-250 or I get similar.

      That’s too bad, I heard the ender really struggles with these higher temps.
