Review on πŸ–¨οΈ KODAK Printing Filament Skin 1.75: High-Quality Printing Material for Precise Results by Steve Cooper

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Overpriced, low quality PLA+, terrible packaging. I will never buy Kodak filament again.

advantages:1. Prints well enough. No major problems with normal printing, printing is the same as most other PLA and PLA+ (tested on direct drive extruder 215 and bed 60)2. The color is beautiful as shown on the Revain product page. Cons: 1st prize. You only get 750g per 1kg more than others. Priced like some exotic filaments, but it's just low quality PLA. Don't be fooled by the premium for branded thread, there are far better and cheaper alternatives.2. Extremely brittle. Doesn't bend, just snaps into place. A real problem with some larger prints and printer setups and when trying to secure the end through the side holes of the storage spool3. Wavy. The thread on the spool is not straight. It has weird waves. May cause extrusion problems on smaller parts and at higher speeds. In over 8 years of printing experience I have never seen this before with any filament, even the cheapest brands. Strange.4. Bad bridge. Tested multiple temperatures and cooling settings, material just doesn't stick well. Bridges are even worse than PETG.5. Comes with a resealable ziplock bag, but the bag doesn't close properly. Useless.6. Package. Their packaging box is flimsy and flimsy, using an odd sleeve-like insert. This seems like a minor issue, but when you need to save and manage a lot of threads, it's a quaint moment.

Pros
  • HIGH RESOLUTION: High quality PLA filament for fast printing with excellent visual quality, low shrinkage and warping.
Cons
  • not reliable
