I was partially successful in printing PETG filament on my Prusa MK3S printer. I still have a problem with any print that takes more than about 4 hours warping off the bed. This mostly happens on the left side, and it even does it if I print with a brim, helper disks and even painters tape sticking the brim and disks to the bed.

Apart from printing many PETG pieces this week, I have glued body ring1 together and am nearly ready to glue the skirt together. After gluing, I'll use a soldering iron to filament weld the pieces together, add some filler to the seams and then finally spray some filler primer on them.

Next up is more sanding and filling. I've started sanding the parts for body ring2 and I have tons of 'greebles' for the body that need to be sanded as well. I'm going to hold off printing the legs until I get the body glued, even though the PETG parts I've been printing are for the drive units in the feet.
