Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ YOYI YOYI 3D Printer Filament: Advanced Additive Manufacturing Supplies for Superior 3D Printing by Quinton Wonsley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I highly recommend this thread after further testing! Read below if you want to know the best print settings for this filament

To review this filament I ran a series of experiments to help others print with this filament. All in all, this is a great thread to work with. After additional calibration, the results were fantastic. I highly recommend this TPU thread. Now I will write this for newbies in 3D printing. If you are just starting out and don't know much about the basics of 3D printing, I do not recommend this product. It is best to start with PLA as it is very easy to print and learn. I wouldn't say TPU is difficult to work with, but it is quite difficult. Experimenting with this filament, I realized that you can't have the same settings for every detail you print. However, this does not mean that the thread is bad. Well, this is for the experienced and people who usually use and know 3D printers. As I mentioned earlier, filament is great but requires a little attention. Even if you're in a hurry to get the printout, don't expect it with this thread. Printing with TPU requires a lot of patience and care to get a great print. No patience = strong strings and halos. I would recommend printing out some calibration parts for this filament so you can get familiar with it. As I mentioned before, the print speed will vary depending on the part, but to get a "constant" print speed on most prints I would recommend adjusting the wall thickness and infill. A higher filling is required for a good TPU print. While experimenting, I've noticed that good prints are obtained by adding at least 45% more infill than you would normally print your part with PLA or ABS. If you want good quality but want the part to be flexible and not too stiff my best recommendation is 30-35% infill. Note that under-filling is likely to cause the part to warp, be too flexible, become wobbly and eventually cause severe halos on the top and/or last layer of the part. Note that the lower the infill, the lower the print speed you need to have. As a final evaluation of the experimental details, I found that the best and average print settings are: โ€ข Print speed 15-20 mm/s (varies by part) โ€ข 230 degrees Celsius โ€ข 44% fill Overall, this filament is a great filament. Also, it is very cheap compared to almost $50 TPU filaments on the market. With this thread you get the same results and save a lot. Once again this is a great thread with some pretty funny results.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
