Review on AmazonBasics 2.85mm White Printer Filament - Additive Manufacturing Supplies by Jeff Westra

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Maybe not that good for the price.

The print quality is pretty good, the filament seems pretty good, and this is the first time I order the ABS type, it may be common to all ABS, but this material warps and frizzes a lot, you need to constantly heat your print to prevent this. Having said that I will probably order this again but as I am still new to this I will also try to order different products and test more things with my Lulzbot taz 6 also climbing from rafts. I got it for $10 and can't recommend it at that price let alone double the size. One print eventually completed successfully, but it broke in several places simply from compressive stresses. I think I'll have to order a $200-$400 cover for my printer to seal in the heat and prevent that shrinkage from being pulled in the newer layers. up. It's very hard to work with this thread.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
