Review on CooBeen Printer Filament Bundle 1 75Mm by Bill Russett

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Difficult entry

The optimum printing temperature I have found for this is 213°-220° depending on the colour. The platform for printing should be about 55°. Warmer - and the print deforms, colder - and the print does not stick. Treat it like a silky thread, not a standard. The printing temperature specified by the seller is too low. It took forever to get even close to a good print. Blocks the 0.4 nozzle after about 6 hours of printing, both with continuous use and with regular changes. Make sure you have spare nozzles on hand and do not try to use nozzles smaller than 0.4 or the printer will print 2-3 layers and clog. It will also seep down the sides of the printhead where the nozzle attaches, no matter how tight it is. Always keep an eye on your print, too, because if you leave it unattended, it's not just spaghetti, it'll ooze. Poorly. It took me 45 minutes to loosen the hardened mass from my printhead. Part of the head was also destroyed. I'm not impressed at all with this stuff. It's not something I'd like to use again. If you manage to get a print to work, it's very pretty.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
