Review on AMOLEN 3D Printer Filament Bundle: Ultimate Additive Manufacturing Products for Superior Prints by David Dreher

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The glow in the dark filament is VERY FRAGILE

I LOVE it when it works and finishes the print and it's so bright and high quality but I had to waste the amount of glow in the dark filament, because the prints would stop printing, because breaking the filament is painful (to clarify, before going to the extruder for example, you can take it out of the box without putting it in the machine and bend the filament, and it breaks fairly easily instead of flexing so much that it creates a whiter part out of the crease like other PLAs, AFTER printing it seems to be quite durable like other PLAs). Unfortunately, if I didn't catch it within the 8 minute window for what was left in it to be used up, it was a 100 percent waste of how much was ever used before the click. Overall I lost about half of the thread and I'm very saddened by that fact. Half of what I've done is very well done as far as I can tell. Used the same temperatures as the other zip codes and everything worked fine. As for the other colors: I haven't gotten to the other colors yet, but I took them out and bent the tips to see if they break easily, as well as gold and copper. No, but marble did. I'm afraid the marble will be just as brittle when I start using it. I just have to confine it to small prints and keep an eye on it all the time to catch it. I haven't contacted support yet but I plan to do so and will update the review accordingly. I may have a bad batch. , Mistakes happen in production.
