Yup using 3 colours and each is a different brand but this creality pla+ is terrible!

Are the others PLA+ too or just PLA? PLA+ requires a bit higher temperature.
Yea main other colour is pla+ but the white is just pla however the creality goes down first and even on a clean bed it still does the grinding/underextrusion.

Which PLA? i have been using their hyper PLA with no problems.
Creality say for the Ender PLA+
Nozzle temp 190-230 recommended temp 200℃
Bed No heating to 60℃ Recommended 50℃
Chamber Temp less than 60℃
Print speed 40-100 mm/s Recommended 50 mm/s
But have found even with Sunlu Petg different colours have different flow rates.

Tried 215-225°c with bed at standard prusa pla 50-60°c setting and my normal print speeds are pretty fast but I've got first layer speed to 30mm/s I think however it still does the gaps like it's underextruding or z height is wrong (it isn't) so I think it's just slipping in the extruder gear and thus not pushing.

Does look like under-extrusion Only thing i can think is slow the first & second layer down to something like 20mm/s and try 230c for nozzle temp. never tried that filament so cant be much help.
I think it's mostly slipping in the extruder, I can feed it in manually stupidly fast like squirting toothpaste out a tube but I guess the extruder gear doesn't have enough grip on it compared to other filaments.
I mean it easy cheap Chinese filament so I shouldn't be surprised but still.
Yup 100% the filament, I still had the z height test piece saved in the usb (one of my first prints lol) and did the creality pla+ and then this grey anycubic pla+ and it's clear the problem isn't with the printer as exact same settings.
(That's a perfect 1st layer squish if I do say so myself
