Review on 🔵 Gizmo Dorks 3mm PC Polycarbonate Filament 1kg/2.2lbs, Blue - Ideal for 3D Printers by Mark Powell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's a tricky thing

I bought this to print new parts for a hurricane damaged canopy frame. At first I was disappointed with the prints because they were very rough. After checking the PC for problems with the filament, I concluded that although the filament was sealed, it was likely absorbing moisture. I put the whole coil in the oven at 150F for 6 hours and made prints again. The prints are amazing and the details are stronger than the originals. FYI: I printed the parts on a Lulzbot TAZ5 with a nozzle temperature of 140°C and a bed temperature of 110°C. After printing I let the table temperature drop to 60°C and the parts were done. easy to remove.

Pros
  • 3D printing supplies
Cons
  • Something else
