I printed a model in PETG shortly after a PLA print, which was fine, and it damaged the plate as shown. What’s odd is I’ve printed this same model with this same filament on this printer and it was fine. The temps in the gcode are the same between those prints.

Is this a Z-offset issue? Would PLA and PETG require different Z-offsets on the same printer?

Edit for more details: Creality Ender 3 V3 SE, stock plate.

    I really like my U1. I also have an Anycubic S1 and have destroyed many build plates. The U1’s heated bed is a big plate of machined steel with magnets embedded. My S1 is heated bed is plastic with a soft magnetic plate. I’ve done a lot of petg and pctg on my U1 with auto level every time and it hasn’t failed yet.
