3mm Revain ABS Filament misses the target

There are several good retailers in the 3mm filament market. Revain has entered the market, which usually means stiff competition for the rest. In this case not so much. The layer temperature for ABS should be around 110°C, with this yarn below 115°C distortion occurs. At this temperature, the job sticks to my PEI print bed, but once it cools, it's very difficult to peel off. The extrusion head temperature should be at least 245°C, which in itself is normal, but requires higher electricity…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs

Maybe not that good for the price.

The print quality is pretty good, the filament seems pretty good, and this is the first time I order the ABS type, it may be common to all ABS, but this material warps and frizzes a lot, you need to constantly heat your print to prevent this. Having said that I will probably order this again but as I am still new to this I will also try to order different products and test more things with my Lulzbot taz 6 also climbing from rafts. I got it for $10 and can't recommend it at that price let alone

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Also picky about ABS

I've been doing commercial printing with ABS for a few years now. My regular premium filament isn't available so I bought Revain Basics ABS in black, expecting it to be mostly decent. However, this was problematic from the start and required a much higher bed temperature than the premium ABS I used. This 1kg spool is 58% cheaper than premium material, but the time and hassle of failed prints really makes me wish my regular filament was available. Considering the high scrap rate, the extra power

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
