SunLu PETG settings  

RE: SunLu PETG settings

I use the generic PETG settings for Sunlu. Works for me.

RE: SunLu PETG settings

I use SUNLU PETG at a print temperature of 215 Dec, First layer 80 bed then 85 for the rest.

The biggest improvement has been to only have a fan speed of 16, yes 16, any lower and it stalls and keep your printing speed down.

With this I get really good strong prints which adhere very well.

Are you guys using the textured bed for your prints?

I have have been setting my temps for the subject filament to first layer 240/85 and second layer+ 250/90 to get good adhesion.  SunLu box says to use a range of 190-220.

Anyone else experience this higher temp?

Yes.

Perhaps you have the wrong box?  The temperature range you mention matches their PVA recommendation.  SunLu claims their PETG needs 220-250/70-80:

That is a good point - or the wrong filament in the box.  It is not unheard of.  

RE: SunLu PETG settings

My 2 cents. Starting printing with SUNLU PETG, I followed some indication in this thread. 

But I have to admit that the best settings for my MK3S+ are the same of Prusament PETG.

Similar values for me.  I started at Sunlu PETG and had less than ideal results and then tried Prusament PETG and adjusted from there,

@cwbullet

thank you for the feedback.

I only had to change a little the Live Z (smaller value - major distance). I don't know if this is a normal thing to do when you change the filament brand.

@androx

Live Z change can be common with some filament brands.

Yes I have noticed this as well.  So much so that I was searching for information on SunLu PETG and that is how I found your post.  I also notice that it depends on the color of SunLu PETG as well.  The green and blue I print at 238 C.  The white and black Sunlu PETG take a much higher temp.  I am printing white at 247C and black at 250 C.  It's very frustrating that their recommended temps are not even close to producing good results.
