Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Assorted 1.75mm Printer Filament by AmazonBasics by Shalom Germann

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not worth the headache.

I spent a week setting up my printer to print this filament. My bottom line is don't bother. Most of my prints fail due to warping, sticking plates and sticking layers. Adjusting the bed height, masking tape and glue stick helps a little but most of my prints fail due to various numbers or imperfections that render the final product unusable as I wanted to print in ABS for durability. Heating the filament to 270 degrees and slowing down the print speed gave the best results for layer adhesion, but at this temperature the fumes are REALLY strong. The two parts I was able to print well were nice and strong, but the results didn't even match the same settings for my good prints. I used this workspace and after a week of trying I couldn't get it to work. I'll just stop trying to use what's left of this thread. If you measure the time it takes to convert that to dollars, it's not worth it. That's my experience, but as always with 3D printing. Your mileage may vary.

Pros
  • Backed by Amazon Basics One year limited warranty
Cons
  • Some little things
