Do not buy! suitable for 3D printing consumables

So I tried this on my original Prusa i3 MK2S and it's not the kind of PLA you want to buy. First, it has a huge temperature range of 180 to 230 Β°C. It's quite difficult to tweak the settings when you have so many variations. Second, it has very poor first layer adhesion, I had to reverse the Z settings and lower the nozzle to 0.1mm from my default settings just for this PLA to adhere to the surface. Third, this is the first PLA to deform like ABS! . I don't know how this happens, I usually keep the bed temp at around 60C, but that's still not what you want. I manage to get the right settings and print with this PLA but it takes a while and trust me on that. the price is not worth it. Also, every time you have spare media, you need to adjust basic printer settings like z-height, etc. in order to print. I will not recommend this for beginners, it will be a waste of time. easier to work with.

Pros
  • 3D printing consumables
Cons
  • Out of fashion
