Any issues with PETG?

Hi,

I’m looking to build my first OFM and recently got a lovely 2kg spool of very dark (almost black) recycled PETG prusament. I’d print with PLA as per the instructions but:

1. really want to use recycled filament and Prusa are currently out of stock, and
2. imagine that I won’t be so fortunate in getting an almost black spool of recycled PLA,
3. have had bad experiences with other brands of recycled filament

I notice on scouring the forums that @WilliamW, nethead, @AmateurEngineer & Lost have all mentioned using PETG. Can I ask if you regretted it in any way?

If so, I’ll wait for Prusa to get more rPLA in stock and get 2kg of that and a 1kg spool of black. Or indeed… does anyone know of a more matte and/or black (or otherwise suitable for OFM optical bits) than Prusament PLA Jet Black?
