Good quality produces good prints. In Cura I use the eSun material profile and it works well but be warned it really sticks to the print bed, I have a magnetic PEI bed and have to carefully scrape off the skirt which is no mean fea
Prints as well as any other PETG filament as long as your settings are ok – for a very attractive price.
If I was nit-picking I’d say it’s a bit more translucent than some others when printing thin walls/layers, but no big deal really. Will certainly be buying more of this.
It has a nice shiny finish at 250 to 260c and layers adhere great. It’s really strong, has a good amount of flex and never comes brittle.
I’ve gone through about 20 rolls of the stuff as I use it for my business, and it’s never let me down. Get some stringing on my ender 3 v2 probably due to retraction settings and the fact it has a Bowden extruder, but none on my Prusa whatsoever.
I open my filament rolls for a week or two sometimes so that it’s ready to be printed, and I’ve never experienced stringing or moisture issues.
Highly recommend! If you aren’t using this PETG, what are you doing!
Edit: not sure how so many of you are having adhesion issues! How about clean your print surface? Prints perfectly on my Prusa with the textured bed.
This was my first time using Sunlu as a brand and also first time using PETG.
Once I’d set the correct layer height on my printer I chose the codes I needed for the parts to build a Lack enclosure and it’s been printing ever since. 4 days non stop and I’ve not had a single issue. The orange is a bit dull compared to the orange on my printer, but that’s just picking flies.
Make sure to clean your build plate with good quality IPA (isopropyl alcohol) to get good adhesion and you’ll be fine.
The pictures show the various bits I’ve printed for the Lack enclosure for a Prusa mk3S.
Quick update. I’ve since used the black PETG which I was told can be a right pain to print with. I can honestly say I’ve not had a single issue. I just heat the nozzle and bed, select the code and press print. If you can’t get it to print, check your printer settings and maybe try a PID tune. Search YouTube for Dr Vax PID tune and sort out the settings on your printer. Makes a huge difference.
As with the white, I’m thoroughly impressed. It has a great sheen to it, prints out very smooth and looks great.
As always, I started with a temp tower and has similar results to the white, so I stuck with the same settings. 240 nozzle first layer, drop down to 230. 80 bed first layer and drop to 70. Print speed 30. Retraction 6.5 and retraction speed 45mm/s. 0% fan first 4 layers and 50% thereafter.
It seemed to string slightly less than the white but again, just brushes away with the finger. The print looks glossy and smooth with all layer adhered together. Printed the grappling hook with no brim, just a skirt to clean the nozzle and with no supports and it came out clean. No sagging and no deformities. The circle centre is solid, with no warping. I think I’m going to be sticking with PETG.
I’m using an Ender 3 Pro with a glass bed and no adhesion.
