Review on Enhanced Dimensional 🖨️ Accuracy in Filament Printing by Douglas Davis

Short version: It's PLA. It performs to the expected quality, does not tangle, and produces quality prints with no marks or warping. It did what I would expect from a filament. My printer did what I expected. But they worked flawlessly together, which is the best you can hope for from filament, especially PLA. It was easy to dial and seemed forgiving of pace and speed. The price is good and there are many colors to choose from. Let's move on to a detailed review. First of all, I would like to point out that having so many item types in one list is confusing for customers. At the very least, separating the products by material type would be more helpful. This is my favorite thing, but it doesn't affect the product itself. So let's get to the rating. I bought a Jayo WHITE PLA 1.75mm 1kg spool. Another reviewer commented on the non-standard coil ID, but to be honest I wouldn't say there really is a standard. Most people 3D print their own or use spools (I use one). For closed source printers like Flashforge, the spool holder is specially designed for their brand. Others, such as B. ad Qidi, use raised poles running over spools. If you're unsure about printing your own holder (there are plenty of those on Thingiverse) and need an exact fit, you'll definitely need to go with the brand recommended by your printer, which is usually your own Brand. The filament is properly wound on the spool and I had no issues with overlapping, snagging or tangling while printing. This is rare these days with reels you buy direct from Revain, but it does happen. Nearly halfway through the spool, this hasn't happened to me at all. It is not twisted or too loose and has always been wrapped neatly. Note. I use a SUNLU filament box and run it at 55°C while printing to keep my filament dry and tempered at all times. This will help improve print quality and extrusion consistency, but is not required. Always keep filament sealed with silica gel bags when not in use. The vacuum bags available here at Revain work well and the silica gel bags are cheap. Filament Consistency: The filament extrudes evenly, and while I kept the filament dry throughout the print, I didn't notice any bubbles, jams, or warping. my prints Filament Quality: This is PLA, so you should expect the simplicity and convenience that PLA is known for. Whilst I typically use PLA+ or PC for most of my prints (depending on use case) I have started to create my own designs for custom and custom household parts, mounts etc that I require. Prototyping is the slowest part of the process as you often have to wait hours to print a prototype only to realize you forgot something or had the wrong dimensions. Here I use PLA. I can print it out quickly. I usually print at temperatures above the usual recommended temperatures, pressing the nozzle at 230°C and the bed at 65°C. However, this is on a Flashforge Guider 2 configured with an HT hotend (the contact area between the filament and the metal is larger than the standard hotend) and a print speed of around 60-70 for the base speed. I think that's the best balance. The prototypes came out with the quality I've come to expect from PLA, no stains or imperfections. As we said, there are many competitors in the PLA market, you want to find a filament that, other things being equal, has the best price and/or color. options for your needs. And Jayo PLA has quite a large list of colors and the price is right. 5/5 recommend. ;)
