Flashforge Dreamer (NX) - Second Try at printing with HQA PETG - Success!
This video shows the testing of HQA Silver PETG 1.75mm Filament using a Bed and Layer Adhesion Test and StringingPostsX Test.
To prove the settings work a challenging F-14 Tomcat airplane model is printed. This print failed the last time I tried it with the HQA PETG, but printed fine with HQA PLA.
With the new settings, it printed successfully!
Unfortunately HQA is going out of business, but there are other manufacturers of PETG out there, so this is a valuable test to see how to print PETG with the Flashforge Dreamer (NX).
HQA has a going-out-of-business sale:

But the shipping is pretty high, so it isn't a great deal.
