Bambu PETG settings not smooth on tested benchy

Can’t say on their Petg CF, haven’t used it. I had a very specific set of items I wanted to print at the time on petg instead of PLA so that’s how I went down that rabbit hole lol.

Thank you. I just use PA in 0.02 at 265C for Sunlu, I probably should re-calibrate and check higher values as well.

I just wondered why I got such a high value in 0.055 for Bambu PETG at 270C. The print seems good enough (while printing at low speed in 50mm/s and max volumetric flow in 7).

That is really interesting. I get excellent results with Sunlu at 300mm/s and 240°C. For me, key was reducing cooling and adjusting some of the overhang settings.

I also run Esun Petg with great result.

But the standard settings makes poor layer adhesion due to too much cooling.
I use PETG for the superior layer adhesion and by that durability.
I still get very few but very fine hairs to burn away inside parts so it is possible to improve. But it is flawlessly. Esun is not my favorite Petg - but works ok.
My favorite Petg is Fiberlogy Easy Petg.

I run nozzle temp 265°C and Bed 90°C
I also Reduced cooling a lot - normally only 20% and max. 30%.
AUX part cooling off and open door in stead.
Slow down for better cooling to 40 mm/s
Fan speeds for overhangs are also reduced
Max flow 18

I Reduced the standard speed for outer walls to 100 mm/s - only due to the noisy vibrations it causes from the head when printing in radial movement.
I also compensate for shrinking by scale the part under the Filament settings in Orcaslicer 99.6% and flow 98%.
Then I run
XY Hole compensation to 0.01
XY Contour compensation to 0.03

Then my dimensions are correct internally and outside from 10mm to 250 mm
And that is within 0.05mm
