Review on Ideal 1.75mm IC3D Blue Printer Filament for High-Quality Printing by Charles Palma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful bright red color and excellent outdoor durability

I bought this filament for outdoor use. This filament meets all the requirements. Heat and UV resistance: A+. At this point it's been about 6 months since I've put up some outdoor prints and they hold up beautifully against the wind, water, sun and heat. There is no sign of degradation or discoloration. Colour: A++. There are very few true red filaments. The color of most of the filaments is orange-yellow, but the luster and intensity of the IC3D filaments are striking. I think I've only used Hatchbox PLA Red and IC3D ABS Red filaments so far. Printability: B+, difficult to stick to build plate, but possible. There's a learning curve you're reluctant to master. Overhangs: A+, very good, better than white ABS IC3D, maybe red dye improves overhang ability? Remove support: A-. Good but not as good as IC3D White ABS. Surface quality: A+. Very intense and beautiful color, smooth and soft to the touch. Excellent quality. However, the only reason I don't give it a ++ is because the surface color becomes dull when sanded.

Pros
  • Printing temperature range 220-230°C
Cons
  • Long delivery time
