Review on Orange PETG 3D Printer Filament - 1Kg Spool, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03Mm, 1.75Mm HATCHBOX by Jaie Bobin

Its ok. Its not the best I've used, nor the worst. As one or two other reviewers have noted, the quality of the print from this filament isn't all that great. It seems to be sporadic on what temps it wants to use on any given day. One day 240 is perfect, then the next print I do just a few hours later, 240 is burning the filament and I have to take it apart to unjam the nozzle. Then one day it'll work perfect at 230 and next print on the same day it doesn't melt it at all and it just grinds the filament. Its very inconsistent with a genuine e3d v6 hotend and duet wifi controller board. Its weird. I've had to just set it at 235 and give it some wiggle room with the holding temp. Basically when it pushes more filament through it heats up 2 degrees, and when its slower it cools down 2 degrees. This seems to keep the plastic flowing without jamming or burning.Currently I'm running with a home made prusa i3 type clone.100mm/s infill print speed70mm/s perimeter speed40mm/s outer perimeter speed230mm/s travel speed235C with slight tweak to holding temp to give slightly variable holding tempsA few other things to note:Support for this filament is a pain in the ass. I had the Silver PETG from HatchBox and I will tell you right now to just throw it away. Silver filament from them in general is just garbage from my experience. 4 rolls of silver consisting of both ABS and PETG, and the finish on both of them is utterly terrible. tiny holes all over the place and so freaking rough. i'm surprised my nozzles never were torn up. its only plus was that support was a dream. It would snap off by hand so easily and while the finish was rough as stated, at least it was consistent and looked proper. The support for this Red stuff is just utterly annoying. it adheres too strongly to the part so you have to break the larger chunks off and then use a knife to cut the parts attached to the print. I've broken several prints so far because of this, and they were pretty hefty prints that were pretty strong in of themselves. but just trying to rip and tug that support away was enough to pull the shell of the print with it!The overall finish of this is pretty decent. its smooth to the touch and is highly glossy. Not as glossy as eSun's red filament, but still pretty glossy. It suffers from the same hiccups as the eSun red PETG as well. It leaves off colored red dots whenever there is a layer change or whenever it shifts to print the outside perimeter. It also occasionally seems to fold in on itself somehow. As in, when its doing the outer perimeter, the inner perimeters shrink and leaves little holes or pockets. its weird. Only the red eSun PETG has done this to me in the past, so I'm wondering if its just because of the red dye maybe? The only filament I haven't had any issues what so ever with, was Hatchbox's Blue ABS. It was my very first roll of Filament and I used it when I first made my "janky printer" as i called it. It was literally made from a swing set and mimicked a makerbot style printer but with two Z Axis motors. I placed the linear rods for that printer at very stupid locations and so whenever it would lower, the bed would wobble and so I never had consistent layer heights and what not. But surprisingly enough, the Blue ABS just printed and worked every time with almost no warping what so ever. Hell, the current printer I'm using was built from parts made on that janky printer, and they still are holding strong!So all in all, this is 'ok' filament. I've REALLY been wanting to get some of their Blue PETG but every time I run out of filament, the blue is always sold out or not offered on amazon prime so its like, 27-30 bucks instead of the standard 24. So not gonna buy at that price!I'll upload some pics in a while when I can get some good example prints that I'll be keeping around and isn't meant for someone else lol.
