What kind of settings are people using for PETG prints, especially those of you with Bambu Labs printers. My PETG prints have been a bit less perfect than my PLA prints so I’m wondering what I can tweak. Temperatures perhaps? Fan speeds?
The only way I've found to get consistently decent results with PETG is to slow everything down.

First layer hotter, others cooler on my SV05:
Courtesy of @dJOS's suggestion. Has worked for me w/Sunlu PETG.

It will certainly do that. You still need to complete the Klipper firmware on the pi and then upload it to your printer board.
None of that is very hard tho. And Michael, as usual, has good guides.

3D printer WAF win today. 
Sliding spice rack from Thingaverse. I only used the bottom part of the design, as our spces are in a short space in the cabinet and the metal rods and top in the original design would just get in the way for us.
Big win...wife wants more. I reduced the width of the bottom rail to 98% and it slides easily. The sliding bottom rail at full size needed too much sanding to slide well. Only issue at this point is it's a little tight on the larger Simply Organic square spice bottles. I may try printing everything but the sliding bottom rail 1 or 2 percent wider so I get more space and the rail will slide easily.
Sitting quietly...stealthy coolness:
Slide out:
Rotate in mid-air... 
Mind blown:

I'm visiting my brother in Austin. I get here and find out his GF bought him an Ender 3 Max for Xmas that he hadn't set up yet. It's now printing sitting on his kitchen counter...
I did print my first articulating model for the GFs 7 year old. Came out pretty nice!

This proves the multiverse, 'cause this just cannot be happening in my current universe. 
Nice to have you show up to assemble and demonstrate the usefulness of the new toy.

If you want to install Klipper on an Orange Pi, Nero 3D has a guide up.
Tomorrow’s adventure, a piece of filament broke off inside a tube in the AMS (this is the box of 4 filaments that feed into my X1C). So I’m going to have to take it apart to push out the filament.

I will be doing nothing but printing out spice racks for the rest of the week. Wife is really excited about organizing the overflow spices in the cabinet. 
I have four pi's so no lack of hw, just no time!
I told you that drawer organizers and such were not good starters if you had projects of your own in mind. On the good side, you can write the printer off as 'paid for' after you finish the kitchen.

I made a simple hook in Fusion 360 last night and printed out a couple, now I can hang the lids out of the way. The curtain rail was already there from a previous use case.

Wow...that looks so legit. Five stars for both usability and slick/sleek design.

Printed a headphone stand, and 8bitdo controller stand. Matte PLA, turned out as expected.

And for bonus points the skull in the pic (printed a long time ago):

This might be a dumb question, but I’m having a hard time visualizing what changing the wall size does in practice. For example going from 2 to 3 or 3 to 4 walls, what is actually happening? Where is the extra plastic going?
Duh. Into "the walls." Even I knew that. (Yet can't really answer fully answer your question.) The one thing I think I do know is that walls refer to the sides of your print, the horizontal top and bottom are called layers. My assumption was that thicker walls make for a stronger print, due to more plastic being laid down.
Since the size of the print is set in the design, I also assumed that more wall would mean less in-fill.
OK, @dJOS answered more clearly in about three words and pics. That is NOT fair.

He-he, experience is good for that.. 
Ah yes this image helps. So I suppose there must be a limit, depending on the underlying design. If you have a thin area, with less infill, then there will be a point at which you can wall no further?
What about if you are doing 100% infill? I suppose number of walls would have no effect?
This is why we keep you around.
