Review on HATCHBOX Transparent Dimensional Filament: Advanced Additive Manufacturing Products for Optimal 3D Printing Supplies by Marlin Atonyo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It is great. It is very clear and has a cool smoke.

This is a great material. It is very transparent and has a cool smoky color. It reminds me of a 90's era fad when electronics were put in transparent cases. I don't know what settings people use when it tears or refuses to stick to the bed, but for me this thing prints great. It is no better or worse than any other ABS filament. It sticks easily without warping when you turn the fan off, and I can get ALMOST the same results with the fan at 50%. but it's quite difficult to hold it on the bed without lifting the corners. ABS is hard to type and people should fine-tune their settings before giving bad reviews. If you want a transparent filament that won't pucker, just use PETG instead. Settings: hotend at 240°C, layer at 105°C. Printed on glass with two layers of Elmer's Violet Vanishing adhesive, layer laminated with 0.2 mm thick foil. Cardboard. No fun tricks to get it stuck when the fan is off. BUT I would like to add that it was printed on Flashforge Dreamer which has a mostly closed chamber.

Pros
  • 3D printing consumables
Cons
  • Can't remember
