GeeeTech A10 Verses PETG

The Challenge

I really want to print in PETG and I think that the GeeeTech A10 printer can handle it, SO i'm putting it to the test..
I have a couple of really good colors in PETG starting with this RED.




The Test Print

So to test it I started with the #3DBenchy after a couple of attempts setting up the print I finally got it and was able to print this.






This came out really good and I am happy with the results. 
My setting where as follows:
Temps:
Nozzle - First layer 240c
            - Print 235c
Bed - 80c at all times
Speeds: 30mm/sec
THE BIG TEST

This then lead to a huge print for a mate, he is building a RAILCORE II 3D Printer and needed me to print the parts for him. I finished the Print Blog here PRINTING A RAILCORE II

He wanted it to be printed with eSun PETG in SOLID BLUE and I was happy with the setup from the red PETG.


The RAILCORE II needs 50+ parts and had the A10 working flat out...



All up it did 200hr, went through 1.2kg of filament, two nozzles and I only had 170grams of waist.


This little printer has been such an impressive machine, all of this was done with no mods to the printer.
