Pros & Cons
Pros
Filament is very flexible and strong. Printer has been upgrade to ender3 glass bed.
I wish it was a darker red but i definitely recommend. Overture petg is my go to. Acts and behaves identical to amazonbasics.
Cons
Pet isn't matte, its a very glossy polymer. For every decent print i get with petg, there are twenty more that are just clumps of endless goop dumped in my recycle bin. It's just plain dumb luck if this * can even get one layer down without clumping. ... Read More
I'm force to send it in the trashcan because it's totally unusable. Overall, the use of this filament is frustrating and time wasting, but on the bright side there was no tangling.
Overture petg filament was a nightmare to work with. Pop, bubbles, terrible stringing next to zero adhesion. Spent way too much time messing with the settings to try and get it to somewhat work.
Highlights
Quality
Both have printed well for me at 230c/80c, and i'm happy with the results.
Great bed adhesion with minimal stringing and overall print quality was better than i had expected.
Print quality was fine and print was rigid.
I had trouble at first with the printing.
Competitiveness
Of 75c printing at 30mm/s and it printed great with only little bit of stringing on the back side.
I'm also happy to not have yet another non-recyclable plastic spool taking up space after i've used up the filament.
Like you should with every new roll of filament, run a temperture tower to get the best temp setting.
This is my first attempt at using petg.

If you use a larger nozzle you can get your print to be pretty translucent
