Fast printing PETG filament

As Bambu Lab are out of stock of their PETG-HF (High Flow) filament, worldwide, I have been forced to try other makes.

As mentioned in an earlier article, I want to be able to use an alternative filament as a direct replacement, without the need to change any settings.

Having read some reviews I have tried out the following:

Sunlu Rapid PETG

• Print settings: Same as Bambu Lab PETG-HF.
• Print Result: Good. Negligible stringing, few blobs.
• Surface: Satin to matt.
• Spool AMS compatibility: Good. (OD 195mm, ID 63mm, Width 59mm)
• Print fails: After lots of hours of prints, one clogged nozzle.

Tinmorry Rapid PETG-eco

• Print settings: Same as Bambu Lab PETG-HF.
• Print Result: Good. No stringing, few blobs.
• Surface: Satin to gloss.
• Spool AMS compatibility: Good (OD 197mm, ID 53mm, Width 56mm)
• Print fails: None.

Bambu Lab PETG-HF

• Print settings: Automatic defaults.
• Print Result: Good. Negligible stringing, few blobs.
• Surface: Satin to matt.
• Spool AMS compatibility: Good (OD 200mm, ID 55mm, Width 67mm)
• Print fails: None.

Subjective Views

The results above are my opinions after a relatively limited number of hours printing with each filament. This is not an organised review or test, this is just a reminder to myself of how well filaments have performed for me.

AMS Compatibility

Being easy to use in the Bambu Lab AMS 2 Pro and AMS HT is important for me. In my results above, I am referring to those two AMS's. I have no access to any other AMS's to try them with.

Conclusion

All the filaments that I have tried, so far, are good and can be used as direct alternatives to Bambu Lab PETG-HF.
