Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhance Your Additive Manufacturing with PRILINE TPU-1KG 1 by Aaron Urena

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too much moisture for additive manufacturing products

The filament was well packaged in a vacuum bag which also contained a sachet of moisture absorbing gel. I was expecting to be able to pop it onto the spool holder and get decent prints right away. Unfortunately it isn't. The photos accompanying this review are of my first 3 prints using this thread. In the first, the two cubes on the left are the original flow calibration prints; the far left is measured as 15% extruded, and the one in the middle has been "calibrated" accordingly. However, the surface texture was terrible as you can see in the picture. The next morning I threw the coil into the dehydrator and left it there for a few hours. The die on the far right is the result. Nice and smooth and now obviously 15% under-extruded! The second shot is another shot of the rightmost cube in the correct focus. TPU is very hygroscopic but I didn't expect the factory vacuum pack to be so wet. Make sure you dry this thread before using it!
