🌡️ Dimensional CC3D Temperature-Adjustable Filament Review

The title says it all but my only minor gripe is that the body heat doesn't work out of the box. In fact, you have to press it pretty hard with your fingers to make it turn pink. Alternatively, if the print is small enough to be picked up, blow on it for a few minutes. In fact, the plastic turns purple again very quickly after you put it on the table. From what I saw in the photos posted, they either just finished printing their model or used a hair dryer/heat gun, put it on a windowsill for a…

Based on the good reviews I bought three spools of color change thread from this company. All three were complete junk. Days spent calibrating and test-printing temporary towers, tension tests, retraction tests, calibration cubes, etc. were a waste of time, even with all these tests being performed when printing large items. The material came out of the nozzle grainy and rough. Impairs the good adhesion of the layer and makes it brittle. I was determined to get it working and used 80%…

I'd say it's really cool but when I touch it it says I'm warm! - Changes the temperature by 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Prints like any other PLA. My printers are in a small enclosed space and it was fun watching the color change as the space warmed up during printing. The bottom of the spool was purple, and as the filament was lifted over the printer where it was warmer, it turned pink. This material changes temperature (and therefore color) fairly quickly, and conduction of heat through the body…
