Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Enhance Your 3D Printing Experience with Gizmo Dorks 1.75mm Filament Printers - Additive Manufacturing Products by Angelo Forrest

Non-General Filament

Given how this product is advertised I picked up a roll to see if it was a decent general purpose floss could act. The first problem I encountered was very poor adhesion to the bed. I use Printbite for my beds and it always sticks to the thread. Anyway, it sticks to some threads too well, but it always sticks to something. After the table temp rose above the ABS temp, I got some adhesion to the table - enough to allow small print to be printed. It took three attempts to print a 4.5mm high print. I checked the failed prints for durability. They failed terribly. This plastic is very weak. It's like ABS meets candle wax. It is soft to the touch - it can be crushed with a thumbnail. I easily tore the model apart with my hands. I have never used such a weak plastic containing a polymorph before. This plastic is simply not suitable for general use. It is too weak and the adhesion to the bed is too small. I'm afraid this thread is really only suitable as a soluble support material. In this case it makes no sense to have several colors. Please do not choose this product if you are looking for general purpose 3D printing filament.
