PETG weird edge issue (lemmy.ml)

Hey folks,

I was printing a frame with a fresh unopened roll of PETG. I haven't seen this type of thing before. I'm guessing it's because I tried a new (to me) cura setting to move the seam to the corner.

Besides this area, everything came out great.

Any tips on how to get PETG and corner seams to not do this? (Or is the issue unrelated?)

Seems like flowrate is too high and/or your filament isn't dry (or maybe a partial nozzle clog). I know you said it's 'fresh', but unfortunately just because it's sealed doesn't mean it's dry.

I don't think it's related to moving the seams..

Figures. Next print will have the filament sit in the dryer for a few hours first. Thanks!
