Creality Soleyin Basic PETG 1 kg Fern Green: problems, parts and running costs

Checked: 2026-10-26

Summary

Common issues for this filament are missing published data rather than a long defect list: Creality does not publish a bed temperature, diameter tolerance or mechanical properties for Soleyin Basic PETG, and the product title does not state whether the spool is paper or RFID plastic, which matters for CFS use. Running cost is filament at $11.99/kg on sale ($16.99 compare-at) on the Creality US store, checked 2026-10-26, plus drying and storage, with no subscription. At $11.99/kg it is reasonable value for everyday functional parts; at $16.99/kg compare CR-PETG or Hyper PETG instead.

Common problems and fixes

• Spool type not stated in the title — Creality offers the line on paper spools and RFID plastic spools, but the product title does not say which; paper-spool filaments are not recommended for CFS or other multi-color boxes. Buyers using CFS must confirm the RFID plastic version before ordering, and there is no fix after the wrong spool arrives. No warranty term for filament was found in the sources. [1][2][8][10]
• Bed temperature, tolerance and mechanical data not published — Creality does not publish a bed temperature, diameter tolerance, tensile strength, elongation or heat deflection for Soleyin Basic PETG. Creality’s general PETG guide lists 60-100 C for CR-PETG, but that range should not be assumed for Soleyin. Workaround: validate settings per spool, starting from generic PETG ranges. No warranty applies to consumables. [1][2][3][4][9]
• Speed claim is guide-only — Creality claims up to 200 mm/s for Soleyin Basic PETG in its PETG guide, not on the product page, and no instrumented test verifies it. For parts needing up to 300 mm/s, choose Hyper PETG instead. No warranty covers print-speed performance. [3][6]
• Line-level adhesion inconsistency (caution only) — no Soleyin Basic PETG-specific complaint threads were found. A Creality forum thread on Soleyin Ultra PLA reports spool-to-spool inconsistency in bed adhesion, warping and moisture sensitivity, with some users needing bed temperatures around 90 C; that thread is PLA, not PETG, and is a caution signal only. Workaround: dry and test each spool. [7]
• Store page metadata mismatch — the Creality US store page title and description metadata is mismatched to “Soleyin Ultra PLA Filament” on the Soleyin Basic PETG product page, so metadata should not be relied on for specifications. Workaround: use the product page and Creality’s guide. [1][2]

Parts and consumables

• Filament spool, 1 kg, Fern Green (SKU 3301030162; US store variant ID 52865931968877) — $11.99 on sale, $16.99 compare-at on the Creality US store, checked 2026-10-26; FilamentTrackHub listed $11.99 on Oct 26 2026, 37% below the PETG median. Consumed per print and replaced as needed. [1][2][5]

Yearly running cost

Depends on print volume, which the sources do not quantify. Cost is per kg of filament: $11.99 on sale and $16.99 compare-at on the Creality US store (checked 2026-10-26), plus drying at 60 C for 8-12 hours and sealed storage with desiccant; no subscription or proprietary consumable lock-in. No typical annual figure can be computed from the sources. [1][2][3][5]

When it is a good buy

At $11.99/kg on the Creality US store (checked 2026-10-26): reasonable value for everyday functional parts, brackets, accessories and prototypes. At $16.99/kg compare-at: less compelling; compare CR-PETG and Hyper PETG, which have clearer speed and temperature positioning. Buyers needing high-speed printing up to 300 mm/s should choose Hyper PETG instead. The Creality US store lists Fern Green at $11.99 on sale ($16.99 compare-at, save $5.00), and FilamentTrackHub listed $11.99 on Oct 26 2026, 37% below the PETG median. Alternatives: CR-PETG for clearer published settings, Hyper PETG for speeds up to 300 mm/s, and a spooled (non-refill) PETG if no reusable spool is owned, since spool type must be confirmed for CFS use.
