# Are Jayo, Kingroon, and Anycubic budget filaments good?

JAYO PLA, Kingroon PLA, Anycubic PLA Basic, and SUNLU PLA each list a nozzle of 190–230 °C (374–446 °F). The catalog does not score them. The beds are not the same, drying hours are missing on the JAYO and Kingroon rows, and the supplied comments praise JAYO without a measured defect rate.

The catalog does not score them. JAYO PLA, Kingroon PLA, Anycubic PLA Basic, and SUNLU PLA each list a nozzle of 190–230 °C (374–446 °F). The beds are not the same, drying hours are missing on the JAYO and Kingroon rows, and the supplied comments praise JAYO without a measured defect rate.

A budget name is not a quality score. [Cheap filament](/answers/cheap) already lists JAYO beside Elegoo, SUNLU, and Inland. [What counts as a better brand](/answers/brand_best) and [brand versus brand](/answers/compare_brand) are the neighboring pages. This one only lines up the temperatures these rows publish.
## What the rows actually list

[JAYO PLA](/brand/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](/brand/kingroon/pla) lists the same nozzle and bed, no drying, and a 1000 g spool. [Anycubic PLA Basic](/brand/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](/brand/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](/brand/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.
