Review on Black HATCHBOX PA Nylon 3D Printer Filament - 1Kg Spool, 1.75Mm Diameter With +/- 0.05Mm Dimensional Accuracy by Jim Velasco

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Hatchbox doesn't even know what to do with this.

The spool I got says 240-250C, the picture of the spool on their site says 200-220C, but their description says 180-210C. No big deal, just anywhere between 180-250C.It doesn't like to stick, TO ANYTHING. Not glue, tape, the bed, or even itself!Finally got 1 good looking print, keyword being "looking". Peeled right off the bed, no problem, it immediately snaps between layers.This stuff pops and bubbles (Hatchbox even says this means a bad spool), it has little flexibility, and is SOOOO brittle.Also. why is this referred to as nylon when they have ACTUAL nylon filament, and this is labelled PA (Polyamide)?I love hatchbox and use their filament exclusively, but this "PA" is a fail. Don't buy.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • May require more post-processing than other filament materials, such as sanding or painting, to achieve a finished look
