Generic PETG missing from Materials Manager in 5.1

[dk-info 0]

I am new to the Ultimaker - I have an Ultimaker 2+ modified to 1.75mm filament. I am using Cura 5.1

 

I would like to print using Overture PETG but cannot find any profiles for PETG under materials - generic or otherwise.

 

Where would I find the generic PETG material profile for Cura and how do I load it so it is an available selection?

Hey @dk-info,

Welcome to the community 🚀

 

We don't have a material profile for PETG for the Ultimaker 2+, since we released Ultimaker PETG after the Ultimaker 2+ has been discontinued. 

But if you know which temperatures you have to use, which are often on the packaging or on the website, I suggest to make a New Material based on CPE since that one is most similar. Make sure you type CPE as Material Type for the layerheights to work. After that you can tune the other settings as much as you like (except for changing the diameter of the material)

Good luck!

Forgot to mention about the material diameter dissapearing if it's too low
