Do a temp tower. Find one hottest to coolest (260 to 220) and see where the sweet spot is. Going coolest to hottest could cause clogging.
And when in doubt make sure you PETG is dry. Likes to pull in the moisture. Tell-a-tale is popping and hissing.
Others: correct if I’m wrong but black PETG tends to be on the warmer side then other colours?
I did two temp towers: 260-225
And
280-235
Although my printer didn’t want to go above 260, so the first layers are all 260.
BTW the keyboards in the background 😙👌
Thanks! Just two of my boards, SC Alice and Lily58.
