Beautiful translucent glitter infused filament

Like every other Hatchbox reel I've used (and there are quite a few) this one prints very well, has good layer and layer adhesion (with the correct temperature settings) . and looks great.

Pros
  • 3D printing filament
Cons
  • Expensive

Clogs and fragile parts with 0.4mm nozzle

The smaller piece failed twice and the longer print failed four times. I…

Fragile but worthy of an overhaul

[UPDATE 4/28/2021] This is one of the worst filaments I've ever worked with. I suspect it was very old BEFORE we bought it and it has become even more fragile. This will be the last time I buy "special" types of filament as the print quality and print complexity just isn't worth it. My favorite thread is by far the Hatchbox but just because their normal colors are intact they forgive miscalibrated machines and after dozens of 1kg spools I haven't had a single lead yet. The coils are wound…
