Printing PETG with my Prusa i3 MK1?

Hi there people,

I just purchased Simplify3D and hoped to print PETG out of the box but there are no PETG profiles for my printer, just PLA and ABS.
How do I get them? Where do I download them?

Kind regards
Keanu

You can just click the + button beside the material options to add a PETG config. Then you can choose whatever temperatures you typically use for that material and if you click "Update profile" it will be saved.

Using the PLA settings for PETG, just up the temp. works pretty well.

Though PETG is a bit more oozy and harder to bridge. So might need to tweak some Adv. Settings.
