I have been printing a lot with PETG (Translucent and normal, Bambu and other brands) for the last few weeks and I think these profiles need some tweaking similar to the Bambu PETG HF profiles. The retraction lenght/z-hop settings are off for these too. With the standard retraction settings I get little holes in the walls (0.8mm) but with the PETG HF settings it works way better. (0.4mm)
Has somebody here made the same observations?
I just picked up a roll of sunlu,Petg from Cramazon. I did a flow calibration and tested it with the bambu and polymaker profile and had absolute terrible results.
I thought maybe something happened with the printer, but the bambu HF prints flawless. I have the Sulu roll in the dryer and will try it again, but I have never had that bad of results in the past with an out of the wrapper roll.
Yes, the Bambu HF prints really good since they updated the profile for it. I will receive some Sunlu and Jayo PETG and also their HF Matte PETG and will test them with the updated profile soon.

I had to perform a calibration for the PETG Translucent filament. I have not printed any other types of PETG from Bambu. I have been using the following:
Sunlu
Elegoo
Creality
Firos
Prusament
I dialed in the Sunlu HS PETG Matte today and used the Bambu PETG HF profile for it and got a lot of little holes in the outer wall. To my surpise the solution was to decrease the retraction distance back to 0.1mm and now it prints almost perfect with little to no no stringing. I am not used to that from PETG but I already noticed that the H2D needs very little retraction in comparison to other printers. Perhaps this info can help someone.
