Likarolo tsa Bohlokoa:

• Boitsebiso: Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG)
• Diameter: 1.75mm with a precision tolerance of +/- 0.03mm.
• Boima ba 'mele: 1KG per spool, 4KG total (8.8lbs).
• Mmala: Ntsho.
• Toughness: Enhanced for durability, avoiding cracking and warping.
• Odorless: Produces no harmful fumes or unpleasant odors during printing.
• Moistureproof: Thoroughly dried and vacuum-sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
• Smooth Flow: Designed for consistent extrusion without clogging or bubbling.

3.1 Unpacking the Filament

1. Carefully remove the filament spool from its packaging.
2. The filament is vacuum-sealed with a desiccant packet to protect against moisture. Remove the plastic wrap and desiccant.
3. Inspect the filament for any visible damage or tangles before loading.

3.2 Ho kenya Filament

1. Place the filament spool onto your 3D printer's spool holder.
2. Gently feed the filament into the extruder mechanism according to your printer's specific instructions. Ensure the filament is properly seated and can move freely.
3. Pre-heat your printer's nozzle and print bed to the recommended temperatures (see Section 4.1).
4. Once heated, manually extrude a small amount of filament to ensure a smooth flow and clear any residual material from the nozzle.

3.3 Print Bed Preparation

For optimal bed adhesion with PETG, it is recommended to use an adhesive on your print bed. Clean the print bed thoroughly before applying any adhesive.

4.1 Recommended Printing Parameters

Achieving the best results with Creality CR-PETG filament requires proper temperature settings. These are general recommendations and may need slight adjustments based on your specific 3D printer model and environmental conditions.

• Mocheso oa Nozzle: 220-250°C
• Heat Bed Temperature: 70-80°C (some users find 70-90°C effective)
• Lebelo la ho Hatisa: Adjust according to your printer's capabilities and desired print quality.
• Feni e Pholisang: Use a cooling fan, typically at 50-100%, after the first few layers to improve overhangs and bridges.

4.2 General Printing Tips

• First Layer Adhesion: A well-calibrated bed and appropriate bed adhesive are crucial for preventing warping and ensuring successful prints.
• Sekhahla sa Phallo: Optimize your printer's flow rate to prevent over-extrusion or under-extrusion, which can lead to stringing or weak layers.
• Retraction Settings: Fine-tune retraction distance and speed to minimize stringing, a common characteristic of PETG.

5. Tlhokomelo le Poloko

Proper maintenance and storage are vital for preserving the quality of your Creality CR-PETG filament.

• Tšireletso ea Mongobo: Always store unused filament in its original vacuum-sealed bag with the desiccant packet. If the bag is damaged, use an airtight container with fresh desiccant.
• Thibelo ea Tangle: Ensure the filament end is secured to the spool when not in use to prevent tangles and knots, which can lead to print failures.
• Tikoloho: Store filament in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.

6. Ho rarolla mathata

If you encounter issues during printing, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• Poor Bed Adhesion: Ensure your print bed is clean and properly leveled. Apply a suitable bed adhesive (e.g., glue stick, hairspray) and verify the bed temperature is within the recommended range (70-80°C).
• Ho koala: Check your nozzle temperature; it might be too low. Ensure the filament is dry and free from dust. Clean or replace the nozzle if necessary.
• Stringing/Oozing: Adjust retraction settings (increase retraction distance or speed). Lower your nozzle temperature slightly within the recommended range.
• Warping/Lifting: Increase bed temperature. Ensure good first layer adhesion. Consider using a brim or raft in your slicer settings.
• Tangles/Snapping: Always secure the end of the filament to the spool when not in use. Ensure the spool is unwinding smoothly without resistance.
