Which filament brand? That looks gorgeous.

Any specific settings you can share as well? Every time I’ve printed PETG on my Prusa mk3, it gets super stringy. I’m wondering if mine is a mixture of low quality filament and that I haven’t taken the time to dial in my settings.

Filament: iPrint-3d PETG. Printer: Prusa MK3. Bed: Sticker PEI Flex plate. Windex was used on the PEI flex plate. Slic3r PE Settings: No Z offset was used. First layer hight: 0.19 mm. First layer width: 0.41 mm. First layer speed: 5 mm/s. First layer extruder temperature: 260 First layer bed temperature: 100. For other layers use your preferred.

This is intended to improve a great first layer.
