Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Filabot PCTPE175 Taulman Filament Diameter: Unleashing Precision and Performance by Noe Miceli

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very durable and impact resistant but not as soft as TPU. The material is definitely more nylon.

I'm a big fan of this stuff. Very durable and impact resistant but not as soft as TPU. The material is definitely more like nylon, but definitely noticeably softer and more flexible than PLA or PETG, but significantly stiffer than the TPU/TPE I use. Getting it stuck to the print bed can be a problem. I found glue stick works for me. My machine likes to print at 245c and I like to run a little slower than PLA. You might be able to work a little hotter and get the speed of PLA. It can be difficult for extruders to feed this material as it is slippery. You need firm pinion pressure and good contact. I assume Flexion or Bondtech will work very well with this thread. My extruder sucks (Malyan M180) and it still works fine if you tighten the pinion and slow down a bit. Layer adhesion can be an issue, so the lack of a cooling fan and warping can also be an issue depending on the geometry.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
