Review on πŸ–¨οΈ HATCHBOX ABS 3D Printer Filament: Enhancing Additive Manufacturing Products and Supplies for 3D Printing by Chad Judex

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent filament, requires printing at a slightly lower temperature than some others.

The filament is very dimensionally stable and prints excellently. The only issue I've had compared to my favorite filament companies (particularly Atomfilament, which sadly isn't sold on Amazon) is that it needs to be printed at slightly lower temperatures. I usually print at 240 degrees with a heated bed at 110, but this material warps at the bottom of the print (sagging on vertical walls) at this temperature. However, when I lower the bed to 105 and the nozzle to 230, everything seems to work fine. The only other oddity is that it's actually exactly 3.0mm when most are 2.85mm; It's not a problem for my printer (lulzbot taz 5), but it's worth checking. The colors are vibrant, the smells/smoke actually seems a little better than most, and the detail seems spot on. I wonder if they melt at a lower temperature than parts printed with my other filaments given the temperature changes I had to make, but overall this is a great filament for the price.

Pros
  • 3D printing filament
Cons
  • discontinued
