Review on πŸ–¨οΈ ZHUOPU CC3D Bronze 3D Printer Filament by Andrew Kamkoff

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent jade color and luster, harder than other PLA

Color (jade) is excellent. Seems to be exactly 1.74mm +/- 0.01 but of course I only measure the first few meters. He prints excellent, really beautiful figures in many ways. I created a pig and a cat from a gcode file preinstalled in my Ender 3 Pro, no problem, they have rafts and they worked better than other threads I've tried. And someone from Creality did the editing. But never before has a raft separated so perfectly. But I have never been able to print a bank with a Cura slicer in my life. First, the bank knocked towards the end when the tops of the arches were closed (I'm sure that the welded thread twisted or bunched near the tops of the arches, then the nozzle ran in. Two banks were made from the It's very clear that the nozzle rests on the raised PLA, which happens when printing thin protrusions at this benchmark setting, it started to fail for various reasons. Filament breaks about 1/3 down - 3-4 rows. (I really wanted to a bank for the collection)didn't see any hot lumps,the thread runs fine when reloading , the cold draw is the same as in the nozzle, I had a premonition that it was wet or just too brittle, coupled with the way how it deforms on cooling, decreasing the distance to the nozzle increases the pressure of the extruder a little The plastic bag it came in wasn't vacuum packed, tiny bag of silica gel was of course wet I got the coil at 130F dried in a dehydrator. Now the filaments are no longer snapped, instead the extruder jumps, there are still no clogs. Now the reason was clear. The filament deforms too much in the extruder and gets stuck at the beginning of the bottom tube. A good stand implemented with two speed changes for cooling the lower parts (up to 25% at the top of the arches, 80% elsewhere). And set Cura so that it doesn't rise above the model. The last setting provides a lot less indentation on the bench, so the filament runs less through the extruder and the nozzle doesn't deform as much. I have used about 10 types of Pla, 5 types of Petg and ApolloX Asa. The first time I had to pull in most of them when she pulls in! Finally a complete bank. Unfortunately there were many stains on one side of the model. There were no smudges or lines at all on my failed attempts, further tweaking may be needed. Maybe you can stop the taps right after filling? And there are other settings I could try. Z jump, indent length, the problem is I wasted enough time. Aside from benches, excellent results for objects without large ledges or supports and/or many restrictions. It's hard to describe, but it doesn't look like a plan. It's like a press, hard but brittle. I'm giving it four stars for now, but I haven't connected yet. If I can't, I'll scale down to 3. Update: I upgraded my printer with a 2 speed direct drive extruder. Now there are no problems with the deformation of the thread. I'm still working on benchmarking without slowing down the fan and getting fleas. There are many other options, but as long as I'm not making models with thin walls and overhangs, it's comfortable to print.
