Review on Gizmo Dorks 1.75mm Printer Filament: Optimized Additive Manufacturing Products by Todd Markel

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I haven't gotten the best out of 3D printing. Filament

ABS stinks quite a bit, I was hoping this low odor filament would work. I'm doing a very large print with multiple parts to assemble (about 400 hours of print time). I thought I would try that but it didn't work for me. I didn't get good adhesion to the table, I tried using a purple glue stick, it seemed to help, but after pushing the raft a bit it started to rise and I realized I was going to lose pressure . This was after four tries but I still couldn't get it to stick to the table. Besides, it was no small smell. It has a different smell, maybe more like polystyrene than regular ABS. I found the smell more unpleasant than the regular ABS I used. I'm wondering if the problems are related to the color formula (it was a black thread) or if there are problems with the main product. Anyway, I wasted my time and money, I can't use it. I'll probably toss this whole role in the bin.

Pros
  • Additive Manufacturing Products
Cons
