Pros & Cons
Pros
Esun red petg. Pro has a fantastically rich red colour.
Bed 85 deg. I had minor teething problems with adhesion, although after cleaning the bed with some isopropyl alcohol these issues are minor. Never had a bad roll, no tangles and never had moisture problems.
Highlights
Quality
Now that i've worked out the problem, i'm happy with the filament.
However black is a really good, 240/85 is my setting, does an awesome job, nice and shiny end product.
Petg is still a pain to print with but this is a good quality petg and looks nice when printed.
Generally good prints with the usual stringing of petg at fine details.
Price
Price was competitive, printz are hassle free
Competitiveness
Printed well straight away with no spitting (the usual amount of petg stringing).
After struggling to get hold of esun filament for a while i'm really glad its back on amazon and easy to get hold of.
Unlike pla, petg filament seems to be less variable between manufacturers.
If i'm nitpicking, i'd prefer it to not be so glossy but that's a generic petg characteristic anyway in my experience.

The winding although poor has thus far just been cosmetic bad winding is only really an issue if the winding has not gone onto the spool properly a long as the filament is wound on without coming loose then it will come off the same way
