Review on 🔴 PLA 3D Printer Filament 1 in Grayish Brown Shade by Michael Zambrano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic yarn but first layer adhesion is very tricky

I used 1/2 roll of Filacube White and about 3/4 Filacube Purple and can honestly say this is one of the highest quality materials I've printed with. One thing I noticed is that while some filaments can print on semi-rough substrate surfaces (adhesive residue), this filament will not stick to anything other than a fresh coating. If you're printing on anything other than a fresh layer or straight glass, the first few layers will pull together, affecting the entire print. If you don't get a perfect layer, the problem will persist throughout the print and will affect the dimensional accuracy of the prints. Ken, the owner of Filacube, is incredibly quick to respond to emails and gives great advice on any issues that arise which is a huge plus. I use Ender 3 with a standard nozzle, I have found that adhesion to the coat is most effective at 55°C with a nozzle temperature of 210°C. Definitely worth printing a temperature tower as this filament seems to deviate from my usual printing temperatures.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
