Review on 🔵 HATCHBOX 3D ABS 1KG1 75 BLU Filament: Superior Dimensional Accuracy for High-Quality Prints by Samiran Pusarla

Oh where do I start. I have about 10 different spools of ABS filament ordered some from the same vendor (Hatchbox, eSun, 3DSolutech, RevainBasics) and printed them all in the last few weeks I've been printing with ABS for 6 months now and I'm switching to filament I can prints are amazing straight away and the acetone vapor treatment gives the Sharing great luster and mechanical strength.However, this hatchbox filament is an exception to the above statement ) and noticed the same characteristics across all three colors, leading me to believe that not only did I receive a bad color batch, but ALL filaments sold are defective Bed at 100-110 C. This setup works fine for all my other ABS filament but this hatchbox filament is showing signs of s poor layer adhesion, warping and printing errors. The first image shows the Hatchbox filament at the top and bottom (red and green) with the eSun filament at the center (yellow). This part was smoothed with acetone vapor for 1.5 hours with completely different results where different colors were present. eSun filament has a very shiny, shiny and smooth surface; compared to hatchbox filament which is still rough and unfinished with clearly visible pressure lines. The second image shows the black Hatchbox thread between two RevainBasics pieces after 1.5 hours exposure to acetone vapor. The quality of the two parts is strikingly different. The layers are still visible in the hatchbox thread (I even increased the duration to 4 hours for the hatchbox part and didn't see any success). The third image uploaded shows poor adhesion of the layers which caused me to stop printing before I could finish it. After the acetone vapor smoothed these parts, the surface did NOT melt, they did NOT become shiny, instead the parts became extremely soft. and have lost much of their mechanical strength and integrity. After pressure is applied to the part, it constantly flexes and does not return to its original shape. Before smoothing with acetone, the part has double mechanical strength (THIS IS VERSUS HOW IT SHOULD BE). When other materials (PLA, TPU, PETG) are exposed to acetone fumes, the parts disintegrate rather than melt, leading me to believe it's not ABS but some sort of other plastic. I am very disappointed in this product and will never buy a hatchbox thread again. TLDR: Poor layer adhesion, loss of strength after acetone vapor smoothing (which does NOT smooth), severe warping.
