I just wanted to share the profile I made for my Anet A8, based on several hours reading through forums and websites, as I couldn’t find any profile containing PETG. For me, it prints almost without oozing nor stringing (maybe 2 or 3 strings total for an 11 hour print!). It prints kind of slow, but it works. I would suggest printing an ABS center nozzle fan like this (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1620630, thanks Arjjck BTW!) with 100% infill. ABS and PLA settings are good too. When printing with PETG be careful with glass bed covers, it may stick too well, to solve this I covered my glass with several strips of masking tape until fully covered, it makes it easier to remove the print or when in a hurry, cover your bed with a paper sheet using tape to attach it, it sticks to your print though but it depends on if it is important to your print or not. Feel free to ask if anything comes up. Happy printing.
