Apologies if this has discussed already. I've been having a heck of a time with PETG. The prints come out great but they stick like crazy to my printer's PEI bed surface, to the point where I've damaged prints and almost damaged the bed trying to get them off. I tried Magigoo which claims it promotes adhesion when hot and release when cool, but I didn't see any significant improvement.
Then I happened upon a YT video where they claimed that G-10 (AKA FR-4, Garolite, circuit board material) works great for PETG. I had some 0.031" G-10 laying around so I cut a piece and clipped it to my bed and tried a print in PETG. Holy cow did this work great. Adhesion during the print seemed fine and after it cooled, it popped right off. No glue stick, hairspray, removal tools needed.
Highly recommend trying G-10 if you're printing PETG.
