I’ve got a few printers now and the sunlu / jayo brand is amazing , doesn’t string , dosnt burn , or change colours while printing ! Sticks amazingly well to the bed at 55 to 60 degrees, never blocks the nozzle and is very strong onefe print is made , it’s the best brand I’ve used to date and when rolls are on offer for 12 I just have to buy them !
Packaging is great, air tight and came wound nice and tight. Print quality is great on my k1 max. Print temp was 220c stuck to the bed well and no clogging. Easy to use and comes out smooth with the right settings. No need to dry first. Great value.
It’s good filiment, not amazing or a game changer but it’s good.
How ever be careful if you put it in your filament dryer!
I put it on to dry for a cycle when I first got it out of the pack it’s just something I do as part of my process and my dryer feeds my printer also but upon starting a print there was a fairly loud knocking coming from the drier.
Inspection: I ran a drying cycle at my normal 60c for a set amount of time normally 6hours I find is fine unless it’s been sat around for a while, after an hour the noise started so I stopped the print and opened the box and all looked fine so started the print again and watched how the filament was peeling away from the layer below it on the spool…… Ummmm it looked soft almost rubbery so stopped the print and pulled some by hand and it was sticking to itself!
The filament had started to soften…. I mean really soften to the point that I could stretch it without pulling hard at all which would obviously cause all sorts of problems.
So I ended that print changed the spool and left it to cool to do some reading up.
Returned to the spool some hours later to find the whole spool had bonded to itself/melted together! Screwed a new spool of not cheap fill.
Lesson: Don’t put meta in the dryer at 60 or at all unless necessary, just thought I’d share this.
Used Sunlu filament from the start of my 3D printing era. Never let me down once. Yes had plenty of failures, but all these can be attributed to MY mistake and not the filament.
Highly Recommended, and this ‘Meta’ stuff is way better than ordinary PLA, Stronger and melts better at the nozzle.
Just ordered my 3rd roll. I really like this filament. My prints feel sturdy look great and I’ve had no issues with any prints. They always come out ready to use.
Been using sunlu pla and petg for a couple of years now and once fully dialed in give very good results. Bought this colour for a specific project and initially had adhesion and build problems that I hadn’t with the other products. Does need more tuning.
Absolutely pleased with this and the quality. Photos shown all done using Cura at 0.2 with a extruder temp of 180deg and a bed temp of 60deg and printer is a Ender 3Pro with stock extruder. Adhesion is excellent on a PEI steel plate.
Presently on my third roll of black and finding it has been consistent across all 3 rolls. Haver a roll of white but not tested that yet.
Just waiting for more black to come into stock.
Prints perfectly at 170C. Nice clean and crisp prints too. Had a little bit of wispy stringing on a couple of prints but I think that is more to do with my untweaked profile than the filament. At 170C it has a nice satin (not quite matt) finish but if you print it at 190-200C it gets that plasticy shine back. Rumour has it this will print as low as 150C, but 160C is the lowest I’ve tried. Given how well it flows I’d imagine that at higher temps it would allow for higher extrusion speeds.
I have not done any strength, resilience, impact or temperature resistance tests yet, but for purely aesthetic prints it appears to be a great filament. As long as you like the pastel colour selection.
Tip: You will probably have to edit your printer configuration to lower the minimum extrusion temperature if you want to print at lower temps.
Benchie on pictures is my best to date print with it.I usually use other brands Pla. Never had issues with much stringing. But here well it is a different story. Does string a LOT also seems to be brittle on higher temperature around 200 degree. Adhesion is good only when raft is used. Or bed is covered with glue stick.
I have tried few profiles and fine tweaks can’t find sweet spot with this one. I guess I will keep trying who knows. I am on a fence with this order.
