Review on πŸ”¬ Enhancing Your Additive Manufacturing Experience with FormFutura's HDglass Products by Donnie King

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hassle free printing

I mainly print PLA. I decided to learn how to print PETG so I ordered some PETG rolls. This could be the third or fourth roll of PETG. I read online that FormFutura makes good threads. I chose Blinded Red because it's a bit cheaper than the other Formfutura HDglass colors. Basically, this thread prints and prints with no problems. I get minimal tension and after it cools it easily detaches from my printer. It adheres fairly well to the print platform and I don't lose any prints due to poor first layer adhesion. I only use regular PETG thread profiles. For me they print much better than other brands (made in China) I've tried. This equates to some Prusament threads, which are quite expensive. Now that I'm familiar with their product I'll try other colors. Maybe Blind Red is classified as a decoy, maybe the low price shown here is a mistake. Edit: Well, Blinded Red's ridiculously low price is no longer available. I got a roll of Blinded Blue and Blinded White at very reasonable prices. The low price ($17) on Blind Blue is also gone. Dazzled blue prints just as well as dazzled red. I suspect price changes should be Revain's method of micro-adjusting stocks. Anyway, I have all FormFutura HD glasses on my wish list. I can get more if needed. At current prices, this is an expensive filament, but it prints consistently and reliably.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
