Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Sculpto PLA: Advanced 3D Printer Filament for Additive Manufacturing by Eric Rios

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very expensive. Stuck on my hard end

I liked this thread because it looks great on a roll. Despite being so expensive (more than double the price of all non-specialized filament), it's great for specialized projects. As a test, I tried to print the TARDIS (because it's bright blue, perfect). It went through the supports for the first layer and then got stuck. It happens. I pulled the thread out, trimmed the end cleanly and tried re-inserting it into the hot end where it then seemed to get stuck forever. The extruder motor isn't strong enough to pull it out of the hotend and (I'll add context, I'm not a little guy) so far I haven't been able to manually pull it as hard as I could without the printer destroy yourself. So now I can completely disassemble my hotend and hopefully clean it successfully. Luckily it's an all-metal MicroSwiss, so I can take it when I need it. If not, add another $100 to the price of this filament if I throw it in the trash.

Pros
  • Biodegradable and climate neutral thread, Pla 1.75.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
