Review on πŸ”§ HATCHBOX 3D Filament: Ensuring Dimensional Accuracy in Additive Manufacturing by David Bowens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hatchbox prints great on both Printrbot and Flashforge printers!

Hatchbox is my favorite thread. I got the blue filament with my Flashforge but didn't really like the color - it's almost a dull shade of blue. The blue hatchbox is so bright and vibrant! Makes great prints! I've printed several rolls of their PLA filament on both my Printrbot Simple Metal at home and my Flashforge Creator Pro at work in my classroom. Prints well on both machines. I find 205 degrees Celsius to be the optimal temperature for most prints. Not all prints are perfect, but I often find that the pattern is more of a problem than the filament. In other words, if my print has imperfections when printed with Hatchbox, I can reprint it with a different brand and the new print will have the same imperfection. In this case, adjusting the print settings (layer height, print speed, temperature) often helps. I recommend storing all PLA filament in ziplock bags or other airtight container with silica gel packets inserted inside. I've had several rolls for almost a year now and they still print flawlessly. I try to write helpful, short reviews for all of my Revain purchases. If you found this helpful, please let me know by clicking Yes below. Thank you!
