I designed and printed a custom cover for Mercedes KE Jetronic injection for intake smoke testing. Also handy as a protective cover when working around the engine to prevent any debris dropping into the intake.
PETG and also TPU tight fitting seal ring with a taper on it. Very satisfying perfect fit. The little hole is an option to add a brake pipe as a barb and pump smoke there. Or as observation point and cap with a rubber washer and screw.

Don't you get on with Sunlu? I only use it now. I buy it in boxes of 4kg as it works out at £9 per kg. I mainly use black matte.

What's wrong with it? Their filament is generally sound.

It looks to me like there are some layer issues with the print.

In Sketchup when you first select the circle tool, type in the number 96 (or 90/180) that will set the number of segments (which will be displayed bottom right). Default is 24. If there are no asymmetrical intersections or strange edits, you can always select the curve and smooth it by upping the number of segments (and radius) in the "entity info" window.
Top tip for Sketchup users: scale your model x10 or x100 then remember to reduce it before printing(!). It's an architectural program designed for big buildings. You can model things as big as you like and it helps tremendously with rounding errors which mess up any curves/intersections.

A couple of TPU test pieces after drying the filament in the new Creality dryer for 6 hours.
Deliberate stringing test, before drying on the left:
Random cylinder. Night and day better, photo doesn't do it justice:

Can make a difference with some filaments, can't it. I've started to run most of mine through the dryer as a matter of course, straight out of their sealed bag, now. Cuts down on stringing with some filaments.
I went with a Sovol dryer. It's currently got a couple of rolls of Eryone filament in there. When I first used that spool of blue, it was stringing terribly.
Did get a Sunlu single spool one first. That works fine too. This one has an on/off switch at the rear, which the Sunlu doesn't. I simply prefer to have proper power switches on my gear.
