Review on Made In The USA! American Filament American Red AF PLA 3D Printer Filament by Reginald Ward

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Wound too tight won't unwind

So I ordered two spools of this filament, not that I really needed it but wanted to support the creator of the Lithophane website. This week I decided to use it for two fairly large projects that would take around 24 hours to complete. After I started working on projects, I came back a few hours later to find the print head was hanging an inch or two above my project and the filament was spooling and mostly coming out of the feed mechanism. I had to pull hard to get it off the spool and after cleaning the feeder I ran it again but came back an hour later and found the same problem. Also, the print quality was pretty poor compared to the Creality filament I usually use. So I wasted several hours and almost threw a full spool of filament in the bin. Next time I want to donate to someone I will do it directly instead of fighting with a poor quality product.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • disappears
