Ive been using the Flash forge creator pro for a while now, but am reluctant to use dual extrusion often because I cannot find a support material that works with my favorite filament, PETG.

Does anyone know a dissolvable support material that will work with PETG?

I don’t know about PETG specifically, but in general HIPS works well as a support material for a lot of plastics, particularly ABS, and PVA works well for PLA. However, HIPS needs limonene to be dissolved, and PVA is notoriously tricky to print properly (if held for a long time at high temperature, it will crystallize in the nozzle).

Hi,

It sounds like you’re running the exact same set up as me (Creator Pro, Symplify and just starting out with PETG).

So far all my attempts have failed - even a 20mm cal cube.

Would you mind sharing your PETG process file?

Sorry if I’m not supposed to ask on here, first posting on the group but have spent days struggling to get anywhere near completing one PETG print.

Thanks.
