That's definitely still where I see the appeal of PLA, and once I get through the too much bulk PETG that I own I may mix up my future purchases to have more PLA where I don't need load strength and won't have issues with high temperature usage.

I am getting reasonably consistent prints but they aren't perfect.

The long version of my tips for using PETG are:

- A Bambu Lab printer doesn't hurt since it's so nicely calibrated and idiot-proof

- Clean the build plate with dish soap and dry fully. I haven't found any need for glue stick on a textured plate.

- Using a filament that has a profile available from the manufacturer for Bambu lab printers

- Printing with the filament in the dryer with the dryer running during printing
