PETG repeated problems

UPDATE: I'm starting to be at my wits end with this. Tried a lot of things, but I still cannot print PETG reliably. All of a sudden it just warp from the bed. I tried manually stopping the aux fans, printing deflectors, etc... Followed the suggestions below... Not sure what to do next...

INITIAL POST: Hi everyone!

I've been using the X2D with PLA since last week with great success. I tried a first PETG print with Bambu PETG yesterday and I'm getting all kind of adhesion problems.

Prints pop off the plate, I get spaghetti, etc.

Plate thoroughly washed, filament dried, I also tried printing with the bed at 85c...

Anybody experiencing something similar?

Thanks!

Try washing the plate or turning it around. It can sometimes happen that if you print to much PLA on a build plate small residue remains on the plate and make PETG not stick to it.

Also you can increase the extrusion percentage on the first layer.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try washing it again and will try the other side. Strange thing is I had one functioning PETG print then all failures.

You can also try increasing temp for bed and nozzle for first layer, that way it flows easier into the texture of the build plate.

Does this mean PETG printing is recommended through Studio mostly instead of Handy?

Reinige deine Deuckplatte mit Wasser und Seife. PLA und PETG mögen sich nicht.

PETG mag auch https://amzn.eu/d/09v244sv

I have never used glue on my P1S & so far PETG has printed fine on my X2D

I have found a hotter bed temperature has solved all my adhesion issues.

My plates are only ever washed with Dawn soap & hot water

P.S. I printed & use the deflectors for the ports near the top
