Is PETG Pro harder to print than PLA?

Yes, somewhat. It needs a heated bed around 70–80 °C and slower speeds, but it is easier than ABS because it warps little and gives off little odor.

Does it need drying before use?

PETG absorbs moisture from the air, so dry the spool if prints pop, bubble or string badly. Store it sealed with desiccant between uses.

A textured PEI sheet or glue stick on glass gives good release. On bare smooth PEI or glass it can stick so well that it tears the surface.

PETG handles outdoor UV and moisture better than PLA, but printed parts are not reliably food safe because of layer gaps and nozzle residue.

It fits printers that take 1.75 mm filament, which covers most current models. Check your printer's spec if it uses 2.85 mm.

Start around 230–245 °C at the nozzle and 70–80 °C on the bed, then adjust for stringing and layer adhesion.
