i dont make accusations, i posted what i experienced and how horrible it was.
If someone says "no smell" and i smelled something so bad i had to throw it away, i question what i have received.

I had same problem with wellzoom extruder on amazon.
Every buyer told me they received it with a ONE PIECE shell but i received unit which shell is composed of 2 halfs.
It was very reasonable to question authenticity of the product i received.

You absolutely did make an accusation, ending in "shame on you guys".

The only clear, hard plastic pellets we sell, or even have on site, are PETG. So you received PETG.

And we buy it by the box of 1300lbs. The odds that you received a bad couple of pounds, but the other ~1295lbs are good, with no one reporting smell, is impossible. So it can't be a case of a bad batch.

Much more probable explanations:

- The PETG mixed with some other substance in your extruder, resulting in a smell
- The PETG was run at a temperature that caused a smell
- You are able to smell things that other people cannot

So clearly i was sold something else then i paid for.

I never said that. Maybe the guys that sold it to you where the ones that got ripped off instead and got sold something other than what they paid for and then sold it to you without knowing. The point is you are throwing accusation and blame on the guys here that you bought from when they themselves may have been the ones that got sold garbage in the first place.

It could even go further than that and the seller they bought from could have been ripped off as well. I am just saying don't be so quick to throw blame without first asking questions.

I would start by looking at the container and make sure it says 100% PETG. Then look at the advertising of what you bought. Again is it 100% PETG? If both answers are yes then it is up to the guys to see what happened and why they go a blend rather than 100%.

Also there is still the possibility that your temps are being reported wrong and you ran the extrusion to hot and the PETG started off gassing at which point it will smell bad.

Tony my guess is that the Filastuder guys have no control over the actual material they sell. They buy in bulk from XYZ company most likely and resale it I would assume.

That being the case the batch you received may not have been pure PETG. Pure PETG has little to no smell. I know since I print with it almost all the time. The only time you get a smell is if you over heat it or you have a blend with ABS in it. I have bought some cheap PETG that did smell and I found it had ABS added. Then when I did research I found the company that made it was notorious for adding ABS as a filler to their extrusions. Seem ABS cost less than PETG so they where cutting the PETG with ABS.

The very slight smell it has is a slight synthetic smell that you have to try to detect in order to smell it. I mean you really have to try to smell anything from PETG. So again either you over heated it or the batch you got had a filler in it which would be on the fault of the vendor that E3D buys from not E3D.

I run it at 205c with no drying.

I didn't notice any smell

Just trying to find a UK supplier so the postage is lower.

I think i hate this type of PETG and will not buy it any more.
Even ABS did not stink that much, and ABS would vent out of the room/house much faster and would not stay embedded for weeks.

My 4MAX has glass that have this black material bonded to it that works very well and requires nothing but occasional cleaning with IPA. They call it Anycubic Black Diamond.
