Review on XVICO 1.75mm 3D Printer Filament by Robert Hardin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Should be in the upper temperature range, prints will not reflect color changes in the image

Not the worst filament I have, but not the kind I bought for my first prints on my new Ender 3 Pro either best. Temperature: Must be on the higher end of the range or it won't print or stick at all and as a beginner it took me a while to figure out what went wrong because it was the first "inconsistent" filament I've encountered would have. The temperature I have to work at creates tension, I can remove that, but if I lower it even 1 degree to limit that, there will be serious adhesion problems. I'd rather eliminate the tension issues and then half print, just stop sticking and end up ruining the whole print. Color Change: Doesn't match photos, matches text about every 15 yards, but that's pretty much the entire print in 12+ hours at 20% coverage. If you want more than 1-2 colors if you're lucky and it's a big print) you'll need heck of a lot of backing, padding and a long print (1+ day) to hope for. You'll need to use about 1/2 spool per print to get the "rainbow" in the example. Just teach me to look at the text how many meters the color changes and not at the photos.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • boring packaging
