Review on Proto Pasta HTP31710 BLK Filament 1 75 Black by Mitch Garrido

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Tight and miswound on the spool

Well, the yarn itself is very comfortable, the color is excellent, it prints perfectly, it sticks well. However, the filament on the spool I received was wound so tightly that it popped and unwound from myself when printing. This isn't a huge problem though, just a bit annoying as it sounds like the pressure is coming off the bed. On the way, the filament overlapped the feed section, causing the extrusion to fail. I have never changed the spool since I first used it so this was not caused by my own inability to store the spool properly. Although the thread itself is great and I mean business. I cannot recommend a filament that stops printing 10 hours after a 20 hour print. I may buy this brand again as it may have been isolated from the roll I received. However, it left a sour taste in the mouth.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Unfashionable
