Review on Bridging the Gap: BuMat ABS 1 Additive Manufacturing Products by Malik Munns

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Powered by Makerbot Replicator 2 Very good

The spool is a different size than the one that came with the replicator. You can purchase another spool holder. I printed a copy from the link below and it worked very well: [.] It produces models that are comparable in quality to models made with Makerbot filament at half the price. The manufacturer suggests a temperature below the recommended ones. for the Makerbot thread. I've found that the model sticks to the print surface if I don't change the settings (still at 230C). When I lower them to the manufacturer's recommended range (e.g. 210°C), the model does not adhere well to the surface. I'll try other settings later, but for now it works best with the same default settings as for the Makerbot thread.

Pros
  • Filament diameter: 1.75mm
Cons
  • not reliable
