Beautiful translucent filament filled with sequins

Like every other Hatchbox roll I've used (and there are quite a few), this roll prints very well, has good layer and layer adhesion (with the right settings) temperature ). and looks great. It's more translucent than I expected, almost see-through. The glitter flakes are a lot thinner than some of the other glitter filled PLAs I've used in the past, making it easier to print. I'd still recommend some sort of hardened nozzle, but it shouldn't pierce through a brass nozzle like so many others…

Clogs and breakable parts with 0.4mm nozzle

I wouldn't buy red glitter but someone just gave me an Ender 3 Pro out of nowhere and I had to do something urgently. Glitter was the only filament that was supposed to arrive in 2 days with Prime shipping, the rest was backordered. I printed several hose sections using high quality Creality settings and a 0.4mm nozzle. My build had two, one took 12 hours to print and the other around 45-50 hours depending on the settings. The smaller piece failed twice and the longer print failed four times. I

Fragile but worthy after mods

[UPDATE 4/28/2021] These are some 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…

Pros
  • 3D Printing Consumables
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging
