    "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."

  "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.",

  "community": "The editorial summary says JAYO and Kingroon are budget brands with mostly positive reports. r/BambuLab 1ng766w, score 22, says they have printed about 50 rolls with no issues. Score 5 says the filament is awesome and so is the PETG. r/3Dprinting 1nw8x0y, score 8, says JAYO, SUNLU, and Tecbears are basically the same thing, delivered from a local EU warehouse. Score 3 says their experience has been great, that JAYO is the budget sub-brand of SUNLU, and that 1.1 kg spools are a deal.
