Review on 🔧 Gizmo Dorks 1 Additive Manufacturing Supplies by Nathan Akers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works better than expected.

Purchased for my PowerSpec Pro 2.0 printer (like Flash Forge Creator Pro, MicroCenter brand only) with dual extruder. Bought to use as support material. Judging by the reviews on YouTube and other sites I didn't have high hopes for this as they believed it wouldn't stick to the base material so it would have to be attached directly to the table. In my case I printed a few details and was done. I'm glad it actually adheres to the base material quite well (I printed PLA as the texture and HIPS as the support). In the first part with 90 degree ledges I attached both materials to the table and it worked very well. With the second part (ball bearing) I had quirks where the HIPS was only attached to the PLA material and the balls were completely suspended from the HIPS and that worked very well. Nothing fell apart during printing or was damaged. I ran PLA at 205°C and HIPS at 240°C. Relatively easy to remove, had to use solvent in some corners. On flat surfaces you can pry open with a small knife. Overall I'd say it's a good balance of adhesion (sure on PLA) to provide solid support and release for removal. Residues can be easily removed with a solvent.

Pros
  • Diameter 1.75mm, Net Weight 1kg, HIPS Filament
Cons
  • Available in White only
