Review on Gizmo Dorks 1.75mm Filament Printers for Additive Manufacturing Products by Dante Black

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Spool poorly made, colors not bright enough or rich

My main criticism is the construction of this reel. You don't see it in the photos, but the spool is held together by two pieces of plastic that come together in a crease instead of lying flat; see the photos I took for a better overview). This will cause the bobbin to bounce back and forth on the bobbin holder, causing it to quickly unravel. In addition, the thread is wound very tightly due to the small inner radius and becomes more and more brittle towards the middle. The Gizmodork thread color isn't as light as other threads I've used; they tend to be softer/lighter than expected; "White" turned out to be more of a vanilla or cream color. All in all, if you're looking for a small amount of filament and don't care about things like bold colors or ease of use, this sampler set will do the trick. However, I would recommend other companies like AIO Robotics or Hatchbox if you want better quality.

Pros
  • Color pack contains 4 spools of 200 g thread each. Colours: black, grey, transparent, white
Cons
  • Line is shorter than others
