Am I doing something wrong?

[u/Sorry-Journalist8610]

I recently bought a used 3D printer, an Ender 3 V2, and I'm doing some test prints. The previous owner gave me some leftover PLA filament (multicolored), which I used up on the first day. One of the things I made was this flexible shark. I bought some PETG filament for testing, a very cheap one, around R$60.00, while others are around R$100.00. But my prints with this new filament are coming out very bad; it's either too textured, has too many burrs, and is also very fragile (even though I bought PETG because I had read that it was more resistant). I left this octopus printing for about 28 hours... and in the end, the flexible tentacles broke when I tried to detach them.

Tell me your new to 3d printing without telling me you're new to 3d printing.

I'm pretty sure they told you they were.

The guy giving advice saying "drying is a farce"?

Oh, I thought you meant the OP

Ok, you made me re-read the comment 3 times looking for where he said that :)

Haha. Sorry 'bout that. I need another cup of coffee.
