Review on Enhance Your 3D Printing Experience with NOVAMAKER Filament: Premium Additive Manufacturing Products by Elvis Bragg

Revainrating 1 out of 5

size issues. Blocks the nozzle.

I've used pretty much every filament on the market and this is by far the best PLA I've ever printed with. I am reviewing black PLA from NovaMaker. It was sealed with desiccant in a nice box and the spool was in good condition too. Nothing bursts when printed, which means everything was fine and dry. It adheres very well to the build plate and the prints come out incredibly strong. He also plays bridge very, very well, with minimal strings. This thread is really unbeatable for the price. ****Update - I changed my rating to 2 stars after getting about a quarter of the way through. Now the only problem I have is with jamming and when measuring the thread with my calipers the range is everywhere. Some sections are 1.75mm thick, but then a few millimeters increase to 2.0mm! That's the reason for my meal. I wasted so much thread trying to trim off inconsistent sections and thought it was ok to reprint only to get partially stuck. It's a real shame because this yarn is nice and dry and has really good melting properties. If they could fix their size consistency issues I would try that again. ****Update 2: When I swapped out the filament for one of my other known good spools, I noticed that I couldn't fill the nozzle as it had clogged again since the last time I tried to print. I've tried everything to unlock it but to no avail. I actually had to take my hot end apart and replace the throat and nozzle, it was so clogged. I've heard about it, but it hasn't happened to me yet.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No productivity
