The Creality K1 printing Prusament PETG (PETG) performs best at 250°C nozzle / 85°C bed with 0.8mm retraction. Tested by SpeedDemon.
🧪 Always Print a Temp Tower First. 3D printing results vary with ambient temperature, humidity, and machine variation. The settings below are community-tested starting points — run a temperature tower calibration before committing to a large print. Especially for new spools of filament.

💡 Maker's Notes: Prusament PETG's tight diameter tolerance lets the K1 push flow higher than generic PETG. Enclosure holds chamber heat so layer adhesion is excellent. Dry the spool first — PETG hygroscopy ruins surface finish.
