Review on Monoprice Premium Printer Filament 1 75MM by Ellington Gardner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This has worked on AM products

By running my hot end a little higher than advertised I had some burnt ABS particles that accumulated and clogged one of my nozzles. I've tried everything, brushes, acupuncture needles, etc. and still nothing came out but a thin trickle before clogging again. Eventually I let this stuff through, trusting it wouldn't hurt, and amazingly it cleared all the dirt in no time. I had to download and unload the thread several times before it was completely clean, but it was fine. . I charged it and watched the color of the extruded filament fade, only to discharge it and discover the neon green residue left after I pulled it out. Eventually it became clear on both sides. Overall, I didn't use more than a few yards, and I have plenty left for later. I then used it to clean the other nozzle and they both work great. Of course, both need to be replaced as well, but using this filament has extended the life of both nozzles much longer.

Pros
  • AM products
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
