PETG Orca

Hello! I am currently working on a full PETG Orca - I have yet to see anyone print an ORCA in PETG. Is there any resource on this? I have yet to find documentation of this. Progress so far, Minor warping on hand guard this warp-age issue has been resolved in subsequent prints.

I may print the lower out of PLA+, this would to be avoid possible feed issues. then again I can always print another out of PLA+ if PETG remains unsuitable. I think the Filament buying guide has quite the bias against PETG.

Why did I print out of PETG?

Tensile strength is slightly lower than PLA+ but not by much
better shock resistance and impact resistance and not as brittle.
better layer adhesion
I have a lot of PETG laying around.

Will be interesting to see results. I will say, PETG has very poor impact resistance, which is the first reason we don't use it more. Layer adhesion is good.
