  1. I was drying my PETG filament in my baking oven for 6 hours today. The problem with PETG is that it absorbs water from the air as it is hygroscopic. During printing the moisture boils within the filament and creates bubbles and unwanted pressure in the meltzone and thus weaken the layer adhesion and creating visual nastiness all over the model, like stringing and blobs and scars. So far it was a success trying it for the first time myself.
