My grandson wanted for his first beer party some can holders and I found one
500ml±+my+beer.3mf (1,6 MB)
I wanted to print with several PETG types and colors, to test myself the differences and on the other hand to have for everyone a special one.
I also wanted to test the relative new feature in CP6 to use variable nozzle temperature for different flow rates because the high speed filaments from Elegoo, SUNLU and eSUN all propose different temperatures for different print speeds (see below what I used).
I used for all the above print profile, just changed filament profile for the respective print
The filaments I used(always from left to right):
-
extrudr XPETG matt anthracite
-
extrudr XPETG matt red
-
Flashforge PETG Burnt Titanium
-
extrudr PETG silver
-
Elegoo Rapid PETG+ grey
-
Kexcelled PETG K5 V2 chocolate
-
SUNLU High speed matte PETG pink
-
eSun PETG solid gold
Now about the filaments:
- extrudr all very nice! I buy them mainly in batches on their holiday sales or black fridays where they are 20-40% cheaper. The normal silver PETG is normally 39€/incl 20% sales tax but has a 1.1kg spool but I bought it with 40% discount which is then acceptable.
- Elegoo is my default and I have some 6 other colors from them as well because I by them in packages of 4 for 50€ incl. 20% sales tax here.
- Flashforge is very nice and somehow nearly silk like color changing, I have also som PETG-CF from them…
- Kexcelled is not so easy/nice to print and has most problems with overhangs (need to adjust again the print profile)
- SUNLU (this seems to be the same filament like sold by Bamboo for PETG High Speed) is somehow a PETG/PLA+ mixture, more brittle and less bending than all others.
- eSUN I bought because I of gold color but it is rather yellow, so I was a bit upset on that and it does not print so nicely than Elegoo.
Unluckily extrudr did not have the gold and copper versions on stock which I ordered and I could not include them in the test.
Aside of these 8 colors I have another 8 colors of Elegoo/esaun and, the Kexcelled PETG-CF (black) and the Tinmorry PETG GF (white) which but will not print more models unless there is further demand.
My PETG prints all have raised Z-Offset of 0.025mm.
You see below (Elegoo & eSun) areas with flat support which were removed easily for all prints.
I forgot also to clean print plate after I printed before some PLA which resulted in some residues on the first print:
I use Ethylacetat to clean off PLA (or remove a bit of layer lines of PLA)
