Review on High-Quality Melca Black PLA 3D Printer Filament, 1Kg Spool, 1.75Mm Diameter With Precise Tolerance by Melvin Balamani

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Buyer Beware: What is currently being sold by GiODLCE is NOT Melca filament.

First let me say that this review is not about the actual Melca black, which I have purchased and used many times -- and, for the price, has been an excellent filament. The last two rolls of this that I purchased from Revain were supplied by GiODLCE and are NOT Melca black filament, which I am quite familiar with. The packaging is different, the spools are different, the printing temperatures listed are different, etc. Regardless, I figured I would at least try it instead of returning it. Simply put, this stuff sucks. It is harder and more brittle than the typical Melca, does not adhere to a glass bed as well, and due to the harder outside layer does not feed or retract as well (lots more stringing due to poor retraction). Take a fools advice, unless the vendor actually says "Sold by Melca™" do NOT order this.

Pros
  • Does not require any special handling or storage
Cons
  • May require more frequent re-calibration of the printer nozzle
