Review on πŸ–€ Black AmazonBasics 1.75mm Printer Filament - Enhancing Additive Manufacturing Products by Kris Martin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

the threads must be dirty it won't stick to the bed

I usually use Overture and Hatchbox ABS threads but saw this listing. Took it out this week to try it out and it looked suspicious when loading the printer. the first layer does not lie down. Checked Z added a glue stick that usually offers excellent adhesion. Still not good temperature regulation, still looks weird when extruding. switched back to overture with no problem, and then with some PETG still no problem, so something is wrong. I missed a return date so I think I'm stuck with that. Maybe put it in a crab weed as I can't find any other use for it. It finally worked but as others have said it needs a 20 degree higher temperature to extrude reasonably, once it ran it worked fine. but touch the beginning of the print and let it roast a little in the extruder. So I increased it to three since it prints fine once.

Pros
  • Backed by Amazon Basics 1 year limited warranty
Cons
  • Big and bulky
