How they differ on the data
Overture PETG runs 30°C hotter on the nozzle (window midpoints 240°C and 210°C), and the windows do not overlap, so each needs its own profile. Overture PETG runs 35°C hotter on the bed (window midpoints 85°C and 50°C), and the windows do not overlap, so each needs its own profile. Prusament PLA lists the wider window (20°C against 10°C).
Which one for the job
Pick Overture PETG for outdoor parts, mechanical.
Pick Prusament PLA for prototyping, display models.
