Review on Iglide I150 1 75 750 Printing Filament Diameter by Mark Bennett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing technical filament

We are an engineering company and one of our goals this year was to replace expensive CNC plastic processing with 3D printing. This material is used in low speed, low torque applications. Time will tell how it performs and I will edit this review as we gather more information on parts wear. The pressure was easy, it tends to flow a little more than Petg so you need to slow down the flow rate. We have 90-95%. As far as temperature goes, 260C seems to do the trick. It leaks like crazy so play with the retract settings, we use 5mm at 50mm/s for retract with no leaks or tension but we use direct drive. It sticks to PEI but skips the Z offset and you have a good part with a piece of PEI glued to your part, glass and uhu glue stick work better and much more securely. Hope this helps, great engineering stuff. Do not be afraid.

Pros
  • 50 times more abrasion resistant than traditional 3D printing materials
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
