Review on HATCHBOX ABS 3D Printer Filament: Premium Additive Manufacturing Products for High-Quality 3D Printing Supplies by Jonathan Suarez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

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

The yarn is very stable in size and prints well. The only issue I've had compared to my favorite filament manufacturers (particularly Atomic filament, 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; For my printer (lulzbot taz 5) this isn't a problem, but it's worth investigating. The colors are vibrant, the smells/smoke actually seems a little better than most, and the detail seems okay. 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
