Review on PLA Filament 1 by Wanick Palermo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Poor layer adhesion; Faint Prints

I liked the colors I got from prints made with this product. I've had a few successful prints that have bounced, the color is very warm and silky, it glosses well and shines beautifully on the glass surface. However, the number of errors and headaches I've had printing this stuff makes it such that I will never buy it again and I cannot recommend it to others. The adhesion of layers with this filament is very bad. I've found my prints often fail due to delamination until I get the temperature right. I have found that 215 works best on my Select Mini V2. The Prusa i3 MK3S prints well at 210 when the bed is set at 70 (my mini V2 maxed out at 60). However, I found it to be very sticky on the bed and left a mark where I had typed after removing the print. I understand that this wear and tear is to be expected over time, but it was disappointing that this happened immediately after using this thread. In general, successful prints from this material have been weak, even when printed with extra perimeter and high infill. Even with the Prusa, I found the prints to fall in layers slightly. Update: I upgraded this review to 3 stars because I found ways to improve typing. Use the minimum fan speed of 60% to set the automatic speed a and turn off the fan for the first 3 shifts.
