General Filament Chat

Anyone got an recommendations for transparent PETG? I was going to just go for Bambu's but wanted to check if anyone has any experience with it.
I've used Sunlu transparent. Not sure how it compares to Bambu though.

This was done using it. It's definitely not clear but might be able to get it clearer by tweaking print settings.

Thanks, what 3D printer was that on? If it was on a Bambu can you let me know which preset please? Also do you remember the infill used?
 
I've used the Sunlu also, nothing much of value to add beyond not having any problems I recall.

That said, I find Sunlu unreliable as a company. I have had frequent AMS jams due to badly cut ends of rolls, plus their approach to refills is a farce. Outside of the jams it prints ok I find and is usually available pretty cheap at around £8-10/KG for PETG.
 
I've not had issues with SunLu, I use them and AnyCubics own stuff mainly, with a sprinkling of Jayo and others.
 
The only issue I’ve had with Sunlu, and something like 90% of all the filament I’ve printed is Sunlu, is the old, barrow, black spools in my AMS. But that’s not every time. The newer refil spools, blue ones, are far better.

Part of me wonders if it could be related to a specific batch/production period. I should have probably tracked more when it occurred, I cannot recall if I have had it with any "newer" rolls, it may have just been with the older fixed/non-refillable black spools

Ah glad to hear that, posted as I was speculating it could be isolated to the older rolls!
