Review on White Fused Materials 3D Printer Filament by Aaron Ward

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Completely different properties than Fused Black PLA

I received the Fused Black end spool and it fits me very well. I decided to pick up a white spool to continue with a project I was working on and was very surprised to see how different the two colors are. Even to the touch, this white PLA feels softer, almost rubbery. Print and layer temperatures should be the same, but the extrusion properties are day and night. I was encountering tremendous tension from white PLA, clumps of filament building up in odd places, etc. In some of the detailed parts of my print where they should have been some sort of intricate pattern, the tension was so bad that it came in handy not visible. hard surface. Of course there are certain manufacturer-to-manufacturer variances and I'm sure if I had the time I could probably recalibrate my printer or my G-code to get decent results from this PLA, but I don't have the time or interest in doing this every time I pick up a new brand of filament. I threw away half the roll unused and won't be going back to it in the future.

Pros
