Review on High-Quality Melca Black PLA 3D Printer Filament, 1Kg Spool, 1.75Mm Diameter With Precise Tolerance by Sean Ceo

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good for decorative pieces, poor mechanical performance.

I print the same gcode over and over, so I bought a sample spool from here to maybe get some savings in the long run. It comes out just fine, but can't handle simple mechanical loads. Now, obviously that depends on how hard you try and how many perimeters you print, orientation, etc, but let me tell you, a couple dollars less. I wasn't impressed. It came in a sealed bag with it's own atmosphere and a sample filament. I'm not sure what the sample was, because it wasn't marked. Seemed like that stuff they use for cold pulls, or maybe it was just clear PLA. Oh, and lastly, I thought maybe I could improve its mechanical properties by maybe drying the filament. Kept it at about 160F for 7 hours and lots 3g of water. I'm not sure how much the spool weighs, but I had already printed some of the filament. So I started with spool+remaining filament = 1100g and ended with 1097g
