Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

A budget PETG filament for everyday functional parts, brackets and prototypes, sold as a 1 kg, 1.75 mm spool in Fern Green. Check the spool type before buying if you use a Creality CFS or other multi-color box: paper spools are not recommended for those systems.

Strengths

  • Low sale price of $11.99/kg on the Creality US store makes it an affordable PETG for everyday parts.
  • A 230-250 °C nozzle range and a Creality claim of up to 200 mm/s cover typical PETG printing.
  • 12 colors, including Fern Green, support color-matched functional parts and displays.
  • Creality lists PETG as a compatible material for CFS, and SimplyPrint reads the RFID tags on Creality spools.
  • Manufacturer claims include toughness, moisture resistance, good flow and bed adhesion for functional parts.

Weaknesses

  • Bed temperature, diameter tolerance and mechanical data (tensile strength, elongation, heat deflection) are not published for Soleyin Basic PETG.
  • No instrumented independent test of this exact filament was found.
  • Spool type (paper vs RFID plastic) is not stated in the product title; paper spools are not recommended for CFS or other multi-color boxes.
  • Owner signals are mixed; a Soleyin Ultra PLA thread reports spool-to-spool adhesion inconsistency and moisture sensitivity (PLA, not PETG).
  • PETG is hygroscopic; wet filament can cause popping, bubbles and rough extrusion, and drying at 60 °C for 8-12 hours may be needed.

Full research notes and sources

Spool type and CFS compatibility

Creality offers Soleyin Basic PETG on either a paper spool or an RFID plastic spool, and the product title does not state which. Paper-spool filaments are not recommended for CFS or other multi-color boxes, so buyers using those systems need to confirm they are ordering the RFID plastic version. CFS accepts spools 197-202 mm in diameter and 42-68 mm thick, and PETG is listed as a compatible material type. Creality spools carry Creality CFS tags that SimplyPrint reads.

Published settings for Soleyin Basic PETG are limited to a 230-250 °C nozzle range and a Creality claim of up to 200 mm/s. Bed temperature, diameter tolerance and mechanical data such as tensile strength are not published for this line; Creality’s general PETG guide lists 60-100 °C for CR-PETG, but that range should not be assumed for Soleyin. Density is 1.24 g/cm³ per the Open Filament Database via SimplyPrint. No instrumented independent test of this exact filament was found; the available comparison material is editorial.

Moisture and storage

PETG is hygroscopic. Creality’s guide notes that wet filament can cause popping, bubbles, rough extrusion and inconsistent surfaces, and that excessive nozzle temperature increases oozing. If moisture is suspected, dry the spool at 60 °C for 8-12 hours in a Creality filament dryer and store it sealed with desiccant.

Owner signals

Owner discussion of the Soleyin line is mixed. A Facebook group post in the Creality Filament Official Community praises the affordability and print results of Soleyin PETG. A Creality forum user reports using Soleyin “all the time” with good results at 220 °C on a standard 0.4 mm nozzle, while noting that some rolls needed drying out of the bag; that thread concerns Soleyin Ultra PLA, not PETG, so it is a line-level signal only. A separate 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 is PLA, not PETG, and should not be treated as a PETG defect rate. A CrealityCloud user reports buying 5 Soleyin rolls for under 15.00 CAD each and asks how Soleyin compares to older Ender/Creality filament.

Creality US store lists Fern Green at $11.99 on sale ($16.99 compare-at, checked 2026-10-26), and FilamentTrackHub listed $11.99 on Oct 26, 2026, 37% below the PETG median. At $11.99/kg the line is reasonable value for everyday functional parts, brackets, accessories and prototypes. At $16.99/kg it is less compelling; buyers should 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 main value differentiator is the combination of low sale price, glossy finish claim and 12-color range.

Which model this is

This page covers Creality Soleyin Basic PETG 3D Printing Filament, 1 kg spool, 1.75 mm diameter, color Fern Green. It is one of 12 colors in the Soleyin Basic PETG line. Two spool versions are offered: a paper spool and an RFID plastic spool; Creality warns that paper-spool filaments are not recommended for CFS or other multi-color boxes. Do not merge Soleyin Basic PETG with Creality Hyper PETG, CR-PETG, or Soleyin Ultra PLA, which are separate products and lines. Identifiers: US store variant ID 52865931968877; SKU 3301030162 for Fern Green; approximate color value #D5DD92.

Is it worth it?

At $11.99/kg on sale, Soleyin Basic PETG is a reasonable low-cost PETG for everyday functional parts, provided the buyer keeps the spool dry and verifies spool type for CFS use. At $16.99/kg it is less compelling against CR-PETG and Hyper PETG. Buyers in need of high-speed output should choose Hyper PETG instead.
