Struggling with PETG
I dropped the fan speeds and that fixed it! Thank you for the advice!! I don't think I would have thought of that at least not for a while

Hmmm that's an interesting theory. I haven't tried to lower fan speed yet. I have CPAP for cooling so too much cooling makes sense. I'll turn it down and retry the print.

I have also dried this filament at 50C for 12 hours and it didn't make a difference

Unknown command being generated on layer change since installing RatOS 2.1
Yeah I was just wondering why it just started showing up all of a sudden. @blacksmithforlife 🇺🇸 was right and it was a slicer setting. I must have selected it recently without realizing. It's all good now.

Hmmm ok I'll check my slicer. I don't remember enabling this setting in the slicer but it might have been from a while ago. Did exclude objects get added to RatOS with the last update?

I'm glad you were able to find the issue at least. I was hoping it wasn't the rails but it is what it is

Sounds like that rail is causing all your problems. I'd suggest replacing both rails and carriages so both rails are the same. You might be able to get away with replacing just the one rail and carriage though

I think it's normal for the carriage to have a free spot on each side but not 100% sure.
Looking back at your previous message it could also be the grease you are using seizing up the ball bearings. I use sewing machine lubricant personally with the RR rails. I would try that first before buying completely new rails

The problem is with the y axis rails or carriages then I'm afraid. The carriages should move smoothly with or without a load. Since you have disconnected the belts there is no tension from the belt system binding the carriage so the issue must be the rails imo. A few options I can think of.
1. The carriages might be missing some ball bearings.
2. The rails are damaged in the area where the seize occurs.
2. The x gantry is not aligned when attached. When you have the x gantry on the rails and you bring the extrusion all the way to the front do both ends touch the front y stop printed part?

Check to see if it moves smoothly without the belts. That will narrow the issue down to the belt system

If so it might need to be further tuned. I got similarly bad results when I tried ironing
