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.

    Does that bed have a PEI coating? PETg can stick to PEI so well that the combination is relatively well known for destroying beds. Plenty of people still print that way without issue, but it depends on having your first layer really well dialed in, or putting some adhesive between the two.

      I’ve been trying to figure out what the Ender 3 V3 SE comes with by default, simply so I can order another. But it definitely has a textured coating of some kind.
