Review on πŸ–¨οΈ RepRapper 1: Easy-To-Print Black PETG Filament for 3D Printer – Efficient & High-Quality by Jaime Miranda

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Skip this cheap Chinese junk

I bought 3 rolls of this story finally my US manufacturer has solid rolls back in stock I also bought some polylite from the poly manufacturer go and get it at least that's decent. First, let's talk about the amount of filament you get. All 3 rolls weigh approximately 3.3 kg. If you manage to use all the filament, the bear weighs 1kg with an empty spool so you essentially end up with 2kg of filament which I assure you, this will disappoint you. All 3 reels went straight into the machine and never went empty, 2 of those reels kept jamming but the machine was able to keep going, the 3rd and final reel left the mess you see ahead. I was so hooked that the direct drive extruder pulled the roll into the machine, jammed the carriage causing the Z axis to fail and then fell on the part. This 3rd reel was so addicting that I spent a lot of time just babysitting, pausing the print and then untangling, it was sad that one side of the reel was missing half the spool and the other side was filled to the brim was so obviously this is the case Real print seems to have decent adhesion to the bed, I usually use magigoo so can't go wrong, the black color is actually quite nice. Prints decently, sometimes there is this super weird fuzz on parts of the roll when not printing stretched.

Pros
  • Additive manufacturing products
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
