Review on He3D Tabletop Filament Printing Material: Enhance Your 3D Printing Experience! by Robert Rick

Disappointing 3D Printing Filament

First, it's black acrylic plastic, not metal. Also, it comes bundled, not bundled. In my opinion it should be written in big bold letters KIT. Or <SOME ASSEMBLY AND PATIENCE REQUIRED.> For those who are mechanically inclined, no instructions are really required, but a simple note with instructions on how to remove the impossible paper liner would be helpful. In English. Or at Ikea-ish. It is very light, but there are some difficulties in assembling it. First off, this is a beautiful and durable insole featuring the 3M logo on acrylic. Took me an hour to take it off including breaking two nails and soaking in hot water for 20 minutes. Products must never cause harm to the buyer. Credit goes to 3M for making paper that cannot be peeled off all at once. After rinsing in hot soapy water for an hour, the paper becomes slightly more removable. I didn't soak it overnight but it might work. The next bolts are metric. This is America. I don't have metric hexagons. None of them are included. So get to the tool shop. Then the missing equipment. It was missing a nut that was absolutely necessary. We go to the hardware store. Tells about a product when the packers can't count to 4. sigh. The basic concept of this product is solid, but the execution lags a bit. Yes it works but if I paid a dollar more would I get it with guides or bearings? Yes. The center roll is as thin as it gets with no guides or plastic caps pressed in at the ends. Since I use this roller for unattended printing, I am concerned about how long prints can move the roller. That being said, that's what I expect from anything labeled "Made in China". My advice is to choose better. It works, but we'll see for how long. If my time was worth something, I would put it to better use.

Pros
  • 3D Printing Filament
Cons
  • Out of Style
