    Ive definitely gone through periods of hating petg just because it’s sticky and in my experience any amount of over extrusion results in it building up on the nozzle. It sounds like something may have been wrong with your printer. Shutting down from the hotend being too hot is odd unless that printer specifically has a low max temp or the hotend was doing something to trigger a shutdown. I have 2 voron printers now but I printed all of the parts for the first one out of petg on an ender 3 V2 without issue.

      No it printed PLA just fine. It shut itself off while printing PETG, before or after successful PLA prints, because even if I manually set the temperature it does not handle heat.

      I don’t care about your printer, I didn’t ask, I’m sharing my experiences. You can’t explain things in a way that invalidates my experiences.
