Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank tcope

These have always been $18.03. Also, PETG is getting pretty inexpensive. $9 is not a bad price. But again, it's always been this price.

Sunlu loves to make claims like "high toughness", as they do here. But even their own branding states it is "PETG - Basic".

This is an every day price, not a slickdeal.

Agreed. CCC shows this has always been the price, and $9/kg for PETG isn't a slick deal regardless.

Also agree, except IMO I'd rank eSUN higher than Sunlu in quality.

Nice price but my only complaint is that Bambu AMS2 doesn't like cardboard spools very much. I guess I'll have to use the first part of the spools to print out cardboard spool ring helpers for AMS2...

3D printer noob here, PETG is cheaper than PLA? I was under the impression PETG was a stronger PLA alternative

Yes petg is generally cheaper.
Pla is easier to print for most people petg can withstand being outside better than pla as well as being stronger than pla

PETG has always been cheaper than PLA. It's the cheapest of all the filaments, and you can regularly buy 10kg for around $50-$60. It's cheaper to manufacture, as it's PET (what most plastic bottles are made from, and the most mass produced plastic in the world) with glycol added. It being stronger than PLA is also a bit of a myth. It all depends on the properties you need for a specific part. PETG is stronger in some aspects, as it's less brittle and more impact resistant than regular PLA. PLA is stiffer, harder, and more wear resistant, though. When PETG breaks, it's explosive, as it almost shatters like glass, while PLA will usually bend and crease before it snaps cleanly. PLA+ is actually better than PETG in most ways that matter, aside from temperature resistance, and PETG isn't really that much better in that regard. PETG is less popular than it once was. It's still pretty popular, though, as it's a cheap (but worse) alternative to ABS that can be printed on open printers and without really having to worry about fumes. If you have an enclosed printer, ABS or ASA are better in every way, other than ease of printability. ASA is generally more expensive, but ABS can be found for nearly as cheaply as PETG.

What would you recommend for a printed organization system? Bought an A1, and my first big project will be printing tons of sheets (Honeycomb or Gridfinity etc haven't settled on a system yet) for a garage wall. Along with the various hooks and shelves

Gridfinity. Honeycomb is cool, too, but it's not nearly as popular, which means less options. You're much more likely to find bespoke models for the specific tools, etc that you're planning on hanging on the wall with gridfinity because of that.

Petg is easy enough to print and is cheap-find a decent 10kg spool deal and party on. Don't like overcommit to an organization system. I caught myself printing silly stuff just so it would fit the system.

Sorry, I mean PLA vs PETG. Which material would you recommend for a printed system

There are benefits of both. If you need better dimensional accuracy, you would want to use PLA over PETG. It's a personal preference, but some people don't like the shine on most PETG. PETG also absorbs humidity more, so unless you are storing it in a dry climate, you'd want to keep it in an airtight container or bag, unless you want to dry it before printing. I have a TON of all types of filament and find myself using PLA about 90% of the time. Maybe because I have a lot of kids and print fidgets for them as well as for their school lol... many of them require more precision than PETG offers.

PETG is not really stronger than PLA. Or I guess it depends how you define stronger. It does have some flex that PLA generally doesn't which makes it better for impact resistant projects for sure. PLA will break easier but it does have stronger tensile strength.
