Review on R3D Filament: Tangle-Free, πŸ”΄ Dimensionally Accurate Additive Manufacturing Solutions by Moises Dzihic

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible. Just awful.

I bought this thread because the brand (SUNLU) we usually buy was out of stock. A few hours before the first roll we had a terrible jam that completely destroyed my print head (we just printed 6 rolls of SUNLU in a row without a single jam). The jam was so bad that I had to replace every component of the printhead (it was leaking around the heatsink and no other components came out). I decided to try again with a lower temperature (200Β°C instead of 220Β°C). This time it printed without jamming, but didn't stick to the bed well, and it ended up leaking around my heatsink and down the block. Its melting point appears to be much lower than other PLAs. I won't risk using it again, it's already cost me too much money at times. If you're more adventurous than me, I would recommend doing the first coat at 195Β°C and then 190Β° for all other coats. The material I scraped off my block seems oily and not a good thread. Too bad I didn't buy two packs.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
