Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Filament Printer Precision: Preventing Printer Clogging by Jathan Louis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The prints are very clean and smooth, but very brittle. 12 out of 15 positive reviews refer to another product.

Product reviews are misleading. I bought it after seeing it had 15 positive reviews. After purchasing and using the product I looked again at the reviews and found that 12 out of 15 doesn't even apply to this black ABS. I usually print different colors from ABS and black and white from PETG for at least 10 hours every day. I wanted to test printing ABS parts that I usually print with black PETG as post-processing is easier with ABS compared to PETG. The prints were very clean and smooth but very brittle. I tried changing the layer height from 0.12 to 0.16 and 0.2 and at a higher layer height the prints were a bit stronger but still cracked easily unlike PETG parts. I also tried slowly increasing the temperature from 230 to 260 and it had no effect on the strength of the prints. Product advantages: Low price. seems to affect it as much as most presses) It has a really nice matte finish and can be buffed or smoothed with acetone to a glossy finish. Cons of the product: It is fragile. None of these were as durable as the PETG stated in the description or any of the ABS I used. Getting good adhesion to the bed is a bit more difficult. Hairspray or ABS suspension must be used. Will not stick to masking tape or glue stick.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
