"Part 8 - Revenge of the PETG"
OK, well it's not that bad. I spent all day trying to get PETG to print well. I got it to the point that I only have a little bit of filament blob on the nozzle and problems with support material. A part that doesn't use supports will print OK, with an occasional blob of filament falling off the nozzle so I still babysit the printer when printing it.

I gave up on the part I was trying to print as it just won't handle printing the thin lines that are found in the support material generated by the Prusa slicer program which is based on Slic3r.

I did finish printing the last pieces of Ring2 from the MKIII cut body files.
