Review on ๐Ÿฆ„ Centaur PP Black 1.75mm by FormFutura by Tim Beckett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Prints great and holds up well with the right settings.

Prints very well. Thought I'd say that first so anyone looking at the reviews doesn't get the wrong idea. When I first got this thread I couldn't print it to save my life. It sat in my filament basket for quite a while, only showing up when I ran out of TPU and wanted to do a similar flexible print. First you need to use glue. Most people say it's clear tape. I've found Vision Minor Nano Polymer Adhesive to work great even though they don't advertise polypropylene. I had a few failed attempts with tape and it was a mess to get off. I turned my bed over to use the smooth glass side and kept it at 100 degrees. I've printed at 235ยฐC, 40mm/s and normal retract settings with a 0.4 nozzle and got great results. I use the edge and apply the first layer very slowly (15mm/s). It's a bit sensitive to drafts and the case would probably be fine, but I haven't used it. I also turn off the cooling fans at 5 or 6 shifts so it doesn't cool too quickly and peel off the bed. Now that I know the combination of this thread I will definitely be ordering more in the future. I hope this helps someone not to waste so much on their first run.

Pros
  • High chemical resistance and excellent intercoat adhesion
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
