Review on PLA plastic for 3d printing PIC by Mateusz Wodarczyk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

When printing on a glass surface without glue, a table heating of 50-60 degrees is required. At a table temperature of 40, the test model peeled off. With glue, varnish and other adhesives, you can print on a cold table. My print settings: Nozzle: 215 degrees Table: cold + adhesive or clean table 50-60 degrees Print speed: 60mm/s Filling speed: 80 mm/s Airflow: automatic in the range of 60-100%. In general, good plastic, there are no particular nitpicks to it. I would give an overall rating of 4 points for the color, I would like a more saturated shade, but the price (including the promotion) and the sampler, as a nice advertisement for their product lines, compensate for this shortcoming)

Pros
  • - Price (including the promotion) - The recommended print settings are indicated on the box - The reel is securely packed in a vacuum bag - Put a small probe of transparent PETG) - There is no shrinkage of plastic even with a warm table. Checked with a test cube and a micrometer, the dimensions in all three axes are 20 + - 0.1 mm, which is the tolerance standard for FDM printing - The plastic is dry, it was not necessary to dry it out - Interlayer sintering is good - Bridges go without problems - The model turns out to be quite strong, it is impossible to break the test cube even when filled with 10% by hand.
Cons
  • Color. Doesn't match the product picture. I was hoping for ivory, already had experience with this color and I liked it. But the color of the plastic from this manufacturer, I would call mother-of-pearl. I would like a more intense shade. For color comparison "ivory" attached a photo of the print head and the test model of the cube. The head is printed with plastic from another manufacturer, the test model is printed with PIC plastic.
