Review on Proto Pasta HTP31710 BLK Filament 1 75 Black by Manuel Gfx

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Print settings are the best in 3D printing Filament

Filament prints very well, but I've found that the material varies slightly depending on the optimum temperature. When I first printed with this coil, 210°C worked very well, but after using about 1/4 of the coil I had to increase the temperature to 235°C to avoid under-extruding. It wasn't really important, just worth mentioning. Another thing that could just be bad luck - my spool had quite a few heavy tangles that caused two prints to fail. Heat treating is not as difficult as some people think. Ideally use something with a window, heat it to 212-220F and keep an eye on it. I checked my print about every 3 minutes and waited for the shine to fade. An important note about Heat Treating: Do not anneal an object below 100% fill, as the object will shrink and warp with less fill. All in all I will definitely be buying more.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • are unreliable
