Review on Gizmo Dorks 1.75mm Filament Printers: Top-notch Additive Manufacturing Products for 3D Printing Supplies by Brett Jarvis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor plastic quality means poor print quality.

This consistently resulted in bad prints. A few small prints came out fine. Those that were rounder or more complicated looked terrible. The material that makes up this thread is a different type of ABS. When I bought my printer, I received a spool of filament (also ABS) with the printer itself. The filament is extruded at 235-255 degrees Celsius and has a sweet, light, slightly plastic smell (sorry, I don't know how else to describe it). This thread burned at the same temperature, but the smell was terrible. It smelled like oil, plastic, cheap rubber, etc. I don't know what to do with the rest of the filament now, but I don't want to waste my time on bad prints anymore. I have two others. wraps another ABS (as mentioned) and wood-based PLA. Both print beautifully. This one is just bad.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
