A while ago I bought a roll of transparent petg “the filament” by spectrum. Wonderful, it printed great, shiny, smooth. I loved it.

Then I took advantage of the promotion on the Bambu lab website “4 rolls are discounted + free shipping” and I bought their transparent petg.

I opened the vacuum bag, loaded immediately in the printer and it strings and pops. Settings are correct as the slicer has a dedicated profile for this roll.

Their website says “warning: dry before using” - they mean that it comes already too moist from the factory?

    Yeah I’ve had foil bags with dessicant be damp too. In my experience, if you’re getting a deal on petg you probably need to dry it. That’s probably why you got the deal.
