PETG settings for the Creality Ender-3 V2
Creality Print's CR-PETG profile prints at 220 °C, with the bed at 70 °C and the part fan at 100 %.
| Profile | Nozzle | Bed | Part fan | Max flow | Retraction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CR-PETG | 220 °C | 70 °C | 100 % | 10 mm³/s | 5 mm |
How do I set up my file for the Creality Ender-3 V2?
Drop it here. It opens in Convert with the Creality Ender-3 V2 and CR-PETG picked, and nothing converts until you click Convert.
Which build plate should I use?
CR-PETG sets a bed temperature for each plate:
- Textured PEI plate: 70 °C
- Smooth PEI plate: 70 °C
- Cool plate: 60 °C
- Engineering plate: not supported
Why is my PETG stringing?
Lower the nozzle toward 220 °C, the floor CR-PETG declares, and lengthen retraction (Prusa Knowledge Base). Wet PETG strings more, and Bambu Lab dries it at 60 to 65 °C for 8 hours in a forced-air oven (Bambu Lab wiki).
Why does PETG print so slowly?
CR-PETG caps flow at 10 mm³/s, and the slicer slows any move that would push more plastic than that (slicer source).
Why won't my PETG stick?
CR-PETG heats the bed to 70 °C, so if a part still lifts, clean the sheet first (Prusa Knowledge Base). On smooth PEI, apply a glue stick first, since PETG can bond hard enough to damage the sheet (Prusa Knowledge Base).
Where do these values come from?
From the profiles Creality Print ships, read at CrealityPrint v7.3.1 (254250c). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
