Bambu PETG settings not smooth on tested benchy

Just curious, what volumetric speed did you dial in your sunlu and the IEMAI at?

I’m actually running some calibrations again this week on PLA. Was able to get through all the big parts I needed in PETG last week, so working on the cosmetic parts in PLA which I have more colors in. Seems like I need to run some more tests to tune the settings more on the PLA. Had two occasions where the nozzle ended up grinding the top surface of one of my prints.

I actually had some time also to look at my TPU last Sunday. Fun to print with, though the settings need some more looking at than the default profiles. The overhangs and small perimeters were having some issues.

Having gone through most of this recently. I’m actually liking the PETG a lot more now lol. I need to run some tests with all of the PLA/PETG settings on the other quality profiles though. I noticed a lot of the prints I had recently such as this riser which got me in this rabbit hole was set to .16. I ended up printing everything lately at the standard .2 since .16 was giving me quality issues on basic filament settings for those I tried.

Speaking of tweaking settings, any idea on the small perimeter settings? Wish the wiki had more documentation to explain this more on the sizing etc.

And speaking of PETG filament with Sunlu/BBL. Yeah I’ve also got some polymaker and hatchbox petg coming. Decided to try them out since I used their pla before also. Would be nice to have a roll or two of a brand I can know and rely on more on hand in case I want something nice in the material. The sunlu though I can’t pass up either, ordering a small bulk order as well right now to see how they arrive.

All in all loving the bambu printers so far. So much more fun to be had focusing on these kinds of details rather than the “tickering/fixing” of the older printers like ender.

As for what you mentioned on the layer heights etc on overhangs, yeah I feel like I need to look into those more as I test out the quality setting differences. Going to be another week or two of testing to see what my printer likes with the PLA/PETG I have.
