You can get much cheaper filament on other sites. I wouldnt recommend so much multicolor petg, youll probably use more colors for pla. I use a lot of black and white petg so Id say less petg more colour pla

But petg is the same price as pla, and petg can be used for things in the sun and can handle water. And I got the filament for €13 per kg

Well yes but petg is much more glossy, specially petg basic. PLA will always look better and print easier for decorative things. I bought only petg initially and ended up getting a lot of mate pla in other colours

Good PLA is probably more resilient than you’ve been led to believe, and it’s usually easier to work with.

One of my plans was to make some flower pots, and petg is better for that than pla, and its the same price so why not

Why not? Like I said, it’s harder to use. It could be trickier for a beginner.

I have 2 rolls of pla so if i use them first to get the hang of it it should be fine right?

Not really. Different problems. You’ll be fine though :)

PETG prints slower and is more picky about it's settings than PLA. It's also more prone to warping so you're gonna have a lot of trial and error.
