Review on SpiderMaker 3D Premium Matte PLA Filament (PLA ) - Matte Finish With Incredible Vibrant Colors - 1 Additive Manufacturing Products by Domonic Roberts

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good thread, I had to readjust a little, it doesn't wind up well. print settings.

Overall I really like this thread. This is a great mid gray color and I really like the matte quality. I wasn't able to use my default PLA print settings (which seem to be standard for matte filament) so a bit of adjustment and tweaking was needed. I noticed that this thread shows the level and z-lines even after tweaking. - fluctuate more than most. This is probably just the nature of dull threads. The main disadvantage is that this thread was not wound up well. I often hear filament rubbing and sliding, only to turn around and notice that the end going into the printer gets caught a little under two or three other lines. This makes me a little paranoid that it will hook forever and cause a failed print, but I kept an eye on it to make sure that didn't happen. I'm not sure it will if I just let it print for a long time. I suspect the extra tension on the feed thread (during pinching) is causing the exaggerated ply lines I've seen. I'll probably switch threads for this issue, but when I come back to see that the issue is resolved I'll definitely switch back because I like the look. A NOTICE. I store my threads with the free end taped off. under tension, so this reel problem is not due to careless storage. Here are my print settings: Printed on Artillery/Envovo Sidewinder X1 from 0.4mm nozzle. Add to. Multiplier: 1.0Estr. Width: Manual, 0.5mm Retr. Spacing: 2.3mm, no ERD, 0.2mm vertical, 60mm/s, no coast.

Layer temp: 60°C Cooling: No fan for first 2 layers, 100% speed for layer 3. Hope this helps!
