Review on MG Chemicals - PLA17TL1 Translucent PLA 3D Printer Filament by Virgilio Feliciano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great filament! It doesn't take much to get started! Prints intricate details well!

I was skeptical at first as I wasn't familiar with the brand. But I ordered it as it was an item that fit my budget and was available on Amazon at the time. Didn't have to do much to get started. 200 degrees Celsius nozzle temperature, 60 degrees bed with some hairspray to stick on my Ender 3 with glass bed worked successfully the first time! These are my usual PLA settings and I didn't have to change anything! The proof is in the pudding. I printed a mask from Thingiverse as a Christmas tree ornament for my wife. Keep it in a dark room and you'll see it really glow! The mask has been scaled down to 65% to fit the Ender 3 diagonally. Although the filament failed with a difficult print, the filament performed admirably. This print took 22 hours and 4 minutes at 50mm/s, so I believe this filament can be relied on for complex and/or large projects.

Pros
  • Vacuum packed with desiccant in resealable bags
Cons
  • Only available in black
