Review on ESUN Filament Printer: Exact Diameter for Optimal Performance by David Dreher

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I wanted to love PET-G.

I want to love you PET. In theory you have the strength of ABS with the ease of printing PLA, but in reality: - Clogging or slow printing. I have now tried 8 different PET-G and PET-T spools and the pressure seems to build up and clog the nozzle during printing. I've increased the chances of a successful print by reducing printer speed by 1/3, but then everything takes 1/3 longer to print. Terrible when connected. Normally 5 to 6 coats are required to get a clean finish. Again more material and more time. Not biodegradable as PLAMy experiences are based on: Four eSun PET GF spools Four Taulman PET T "T-Glass" spools mm

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
