Review on DURAMIC 3D PLA Plus (PLA ) Filament 1 by Clint Mcloven

It took me about 30 minutes to set up all the parameters on my SOVOL SV01 (direct drive). This thread seems happier if it cools faster. I was able to get it to print with a bed temp of 50C + Aquanet hairspray, turning off the layer after the first few coats and with a nozzle temp of 215C. When I tried to print at 220-225°C, the ironing effect of the nozzle caused the uncooled filament to drag across the print, creating what appeared to be waves. On the other hand, 205C-210C looked like it was a bit under-extruded. Since this thread tends to dry out, you will get frizz if it dries too slowly. You can fix this by increasing the WIDTH of the line by 50% (ie a 0.35 line width on a 0.4mm nozzle is the new 0.525mm line width for that line). Also, I suspect I can get this to print at a bed temperature of 40C, or even with the bed turned off, as long as I use Aquanet hairspray on my textured glass bed. Pressure welded to bed at settings below. TL; DR ==== Table = 50°C, turn off after first few layers (cutting machine can do this automatically) Nozzle = 215°C (view and adjust on the fly when printing starts) Fan = 100% line width = 50% wider (1.5x normal linewidth)
