Review on Gizmo Dorks Bronze 3D Printing Filament by Eric Pruett

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fragile! on 3D printing filament

So the first few prints were pretty decent. Even at high details/low print speeds, the quality of fine details is inferior to traditional PLA. Gritty is the best adjective I can use. But the real problem is how fragile the reel is. After I used about half the spool, the filament kept coming loose during printing. It didn't have high or fast cruising speeds, it just has such a sharp natural curve from winding onto the reel that it's CONSTANTLY breaking. I actually threw away the last 1/3 of the roll out of desperation. There should have been a last half, but I was determined. If you must buy, set the temperature of the print bed to 70oC, otherwise you will not get a smooth, flat print in any size.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
