A budget name is not a quality score. Cheap filament already lists JAYO beside Elegoo, SUNLU, and Inland. What counts as a better brand and brand versus brand are the neighboring pages. This one only lines up the temperatures these rows publish.
What the rows actually list
JAYO PLA lists 190–230 °C (374–446 °F), a bed of 50–70 °C (122–158 °F), and a drying maximum of 60 °C (140 °F) with no hours. The stored spool weights are 1000 g and 1100 g. Dataset imported 13 October 2026. Kingroon PLA lists the same nozzle and bed, no drying, and a 1000 g spool. Anycubic PLA Basic lists 190–230 °C (374–446 °F), a bed of 55–65 °C (131–149 °F), and a drying maximum of 50 °C (122 °F) with no hours, from the PLA TDS V3.0 cited on the record. SUNLU PLA lists 190–230 °C (374–446 °F) and a bed of 50–70 °C (122–158 °F) in that same database import. The SUNLU wiki, checked 18 October 2026, stores drying at 50–55 °C (122–131 °F) for 8 h.
JAYO PETG lists 220–250 °C (428–482 °F) and a bed of 70–90 °C (158–194 °F), and it does not store drying. Anycubic's PETG TDS, checked 18 October 2026, lists 230–250 °C (446–482 °F), a bed of 60–70 °C (140–158 °F), and drying at 55–65 °C (131–149 °F) for 8 h. No safety certification is listed. None of them stores a price per kilogram, so none of them is a bargain ranking.
What the community says
a Reddit thread in r/BambuLab says about 50 rolls printed with no issues.
a Reddit thread in r/BambuLab: A comment says the filament is awesome and so is the PETG.
a Reddit thread in r/3Dprinting: calls JAYO SUNLU's budget sub-brand and likes the 1.1 kg spool.
Pros and cons
Pros
- The comparison is the published nozzle, bed, drying, and spool weight, which is what these rows actually contain.
- The positive JAYO comments are quoted with their scores, and the threads that supplied no comments stay unnamed as evidence.
Cons
- No supplied comments is a Kingroon or Anycubic print report. Kingroon appears in the bank's brand tally, not in the four quoted comments.
- Calling JAYO, SUNLU, and Tecbears the same filament is a score-8 comment. No manufacturer page in these sources says that.
Printer considerations
- JAYO PLA and Kingroon PLA share 190–230 °C (374–446 °F) and a 50–70 °C (122–158 °F) bed. Anycubic PLA Basic uses the same nozzle and a 55–65 °C (131–149 °F) bed. Do not paste one bed onto the other.
- JAYO PETG and Kingroon PETG list 220–250 °C (428–482 °F) and a 70–90 °C (158–194 °F) bed. Anycubic PETG, on its TDS checked 18 October 2026, lists 230–250 °C (446–482 °F), a 60–70 °C (140–158 °F) bed, and drying at 55–65 °C (131–149 °F) for 8 h. The PETG beds are not one setting.
- A 1100 g spool weight is stored on JAYO PLA. A score-3 comment also says JAYO tends to sell 1.1 kg spools. The comment's word DEAL is not a price. Price per kilogram is empty on these rows.

Questions
Does the same nozzle range mean the spools print the same?
No. JAYO PLA, Kingroon PLA, Anycubic PLA Basic, and SUNLU PLA all list 190–230 °C (374–446 °F). The beds are 50–70 °C (122–158 °F), 50–70 °C (122–158 °F), 55–65 °C (131–149 °F), and 50–70 °C (122–158 °F). Drying hours are blank on JAYO PLA and Kingroon PLA. SUNLU PLA stores 50–55 °C (122–131 °F) for 8 h. Cheap filament is the budget list. Compare brands is the spec comparison.
Is JAYO the same filament as SUNLU?
on r/3Dprinting says JAYO, SUNLU, and Tecbears are basically the same thing. A comment says JAYO is SUNLU's budget sub-brand. Neither sentence is a SUNLU or JAYO page. The catalog rows are separate, and the temperatures above are the published ones.
