First PETG 3d print in a while. Main body seems fine but overhangs are not. Unsure why. Need to investigate. (it's a phone stand, the central portion swings out and makes a triangle, holding phone in that curve.)

I'd print it on the side, will make it stronger anyways. Less likely to lose layer adhesion.

Edit: never mind, I think this is a print in place moving piece?

Try decreasing your nozzle temp, might just be too soft.
