Hello lads, It’s my first time printing with PETG (normally I use PLA) and I’m having trouble with the second layer as seen in the photos. The filament seems to be coming out uneven, and the print looks awful. The first layer always seems to look fine, these issues only occur on second layer and above. I’ve adjusted quite a few settings for this new material but nothing seems to be helping. What should I do to fix this? I’d appreciate any help as I usually have no issues printing with PLA.

Print settings:

Printer - Creality CR M4

Slicer - Ultimaker Cura

Nozzle 230 degrees C

Bed 70 degrees C

Print speed 40 mm/s

Fan 25%
