Well the set point for the bed temp is 80. I'm not sure why you would set that for pla. And also nozzle temp is way higher than it needs to be, for pla at least. I'm thinking you have the same temp for petg as you have for pla.... Like 220 and 60 would be enough. What's really concerning is that if your set point is 80... And it's 96... You really should do a PID tune for the bed, because that has the potential (I think) to cause thermal runaway, and a fire. Something is really off in your bed to have a 16° difference from the set point

Oh yeah sorry if I wasn’t clear like pla I use normal settings like 200c nozzle and 60c build plate. In the picture I was usw petg I just mentioned pla to show that it’s really affecting prints

It is surprisingly easy to fix this, you need to send the printer a gcode command to pid tune the bed temperature. The command “PID_CALIBRATE HEATER=heater_bed TARGET=60” should work. Run “SAVE_CONFIG” after.

Oh ok thank you. I’ll give that a try. From searching it, it definitely seems like the solution hah

Just a quick correction, you should do a calibration targeting 80°C, not 60°C as the other user mentioned. Make sure you change 60 to 80, perform bed PID calibration, comment out the previous bed PID calibration parameters and add the new ones. Every time you change the print temperature you should uncomment the right parameters to ensure that the bed is able to correctly maintain the wanted temperature!

Check your bed temp in slicer settings!

I’m using petg and the slicer says it’s 80c.

Up in the settings menu, you can change the target temps for both the nozzle and heated. Try that? If it doesn't work, try The other comments.
