SUNLU Black PETG – small bumps / pockmarks on walls even after long drying

Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing this small bump / pockmark texture on my prints, and now I’m already on my second spool of SUNLU black PETG with the same issue.

What could be causing this?

What I already tried:

  • Dried the filament 16 hours at 64 °C, then printed directly from a dry box at ~10% humidity
  • The first spool was dried 24 hours total, same result
  • Flow calibration done
  • Seam position: back
  • Speeds are attached as images

Printer & settings:

  • Printer: Bambu Lab A1
  • Nozzle: 0.4 mm stainless steel
  • Nozzle temp:
    • Initial layer: 245 °C
    • Other layers: 240 °C
  • Volumetric speed: 8 mm³/s

The bumps appear randomly on the walls and also on top surfaces, so it doesn’t look like a seam issue.

Has anyone seen this with SUNLU PETG before?
Could this still be moisture-related, temperature-related, or something else (flow, pressure, nozzle, etc.)?

Thanks in advance 🙂
