Review on ๐Ÿ”ฎ HATCHBOX Magic Stone PLA Filament: Enhancing Additive Manufacturing with High-Quality Products by Andrew Cramer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not worth the hassle

Only buy this thread if you really need something that looks like a stone. I managed to get a successful print and to be honest it looked great. It has the same properties as PLA but is very brittle. Just a few days after removing it from the vacuum bag, my extruder motor refused to push the filament through, even when the filament was at least slightly stretched. The gears were grinding the filament and would no longer be pushed through. When the filament reached the nozzle, the filament would break with sudden movements and cause problems with the entire print. I haven't used a roll of regular PLA in a few months and it printed just as well as before, but whatever they did for this particular filament is a nightmare to print so I'm going to throw it away. There is 0.99 kg left on the roll.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
