Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Enhanced PLA 3D Printing Filament by IEMAI by Michael Godo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great yarn, bad spool, buy it!

TEMPS, bed adhesion and product information: This brand of thread has never been used. When I order from Revain I usually buy Overture and have never had a problem. I usually start with the average settings recommended by the manufacturer. The sticker on this thread says 210-240C and I started with 220. So low it won't stick to the bed. After many attempts to level the bed I finally ran some Overture thread and it layed out perfectly (so leveling wasn't a problem). Then I started playing with tempi. After looking at the reviews here and doing some other research, I found that the IDEAL TEMPERATURE FOR THIS filament is 235ยฐ extruder and 85ยฐ bed temp. The fan was set to 0 for the first layer with 30 normal and 50 max for the remaining layers. This thread is BEAUTIFUL. I have ZERO artifacts. It was packaged well and should be one of the cleanest wraps (it's wound onto the spool very well so it shouldn't get tangled). My biggest issue with this thread (and the only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5) is the spool itself! You started the filament in the middle of the spool which causes it to bounce every time the spool reaches that spot on my printer. Also, the hole on the inside of the spool is larger than other brands I've used, so your extruder motor will run a little harder. OVERALL: Use a temperature of 235/85 with a fan speed of 0/30/50. I would buy it again but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a weak extruder motor. If I could chat with the owner of the company, I would advise him/her to switch to a role with a more generic role type. If so, I would make this brand my new favorite Revain.

Pros
  • EASY TO PRINT: IEMAI PLA 3D printer filament is 100% virgin material with no cheap plastic fillers. Material - PLA filament is made from vegetable starch raw materials and has lower melting and printing temperature. PLA filament is therefore very suitable for beginners.
