Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ PolyLite ABS 2 2Lb 3D Printer Filament by Chuck Chen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Filament is smoother and more absorbent

I'm used to printing with Hatchbox ABS, which I can print perfectly on most of the time, but I've changed it and gotten different results. I'm using a heavily upgraded Ender 3 (body, glass deck and all other upgrades) and am following recommended print settings. I had to do 16 different test prints (each with optimized settings based on previous printing errors) before I was able to print this filament correctly. It breaks very easily and the filament is significantly smoother and more slippery than any other filament I've printed with. Also, this filament is highly hygroscopic, which means it will absorb moisture, so bake and dry before printing. One good thing about this yarn is its ability to react with acetone (ABS thinner). In general, this filament is not bad, but with patience and testing you can get good prints with it.

Pros
  • Print settings
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
