Thats history, I did a factoy reset, with a new nozzle, reset cura to 
defaults except extra walls, and successfuuly built my busted math 
version I just posted about.

I'll likely get down to that, its the recommended for PETG, which I've 
found high, 70C bed and 234C nozzle in previous successfull runs.  With 
BuildTak on the glass, I expect 65C/232C to work. And be easier to 
remove. Print cooling on the dremel is extremely well done, and while I 
have that fan started at layer 2 and 40% they recommend only 30%.  We'll
see.

I'll likely have to adjust something as I doubt the build underway now 
will be final.  And finally, something it sticks to, buildtak sheet. 
Sticks really well at 80/250 so the next build will try 70/240.
The 80/250 build was a mite bumpy. But cleaned up and full of bb's to 
only about 1.5" of empty space as I used a .02mm small spec for the 
bearing track bb size, which is too much preload, so this build underway 
is building with the exact measurement. But I fully expect to have to 
fine tune yet another copy after this one, probably the ID so it fits 
the drives spline rings more exactly, and an adjustment of the dummy bb 
size to get a best fit.

Unsealed from a vacuum packed bag Sunday, so it should be pretty dry yet. 
So I now have one nearly empty spool of this odd size, and this one to 
use up yet. If I build a third, the nearly empty spool will get 
finished. The dremel claims it will pause and wait if it runs out mid 
build. I've no clue how it does that but the upper guide feeding the 
head mounted ejector, has a 3 conductor cable coming out of the bottom 
of its plastic molding.  And I've most of a roll of green PETG left on 
the ender that I'll probably put in the oven for a few hours before I 
rewind it on a dremel spool.
