Good Stuff Easy to Use

This is a pack of four strands of PLA. GITD Green and Blue, Marble and Color Change. The GITD thread worked as expected. The green absorbs any light, even a flashlight worked. It was very easy to type with and even as a beginner I had no trouble printing. However, I have set the (Matter Hacker) setting to translucent. Everything else was the same. The blue GITD (shown as breathing) printed very well with the same settings as above. Some support was needed (isn't that all?) and they were removed quite simply. I didn't need any sanding to get them clean. The blue needs slightly stronger light for a longer time but worked very well when given this (see photo). Both GITDs can be easily glued to the E-6000 clear. "Super" glue wasn't that successful, but I didn't think it would be. They also look great in black light. A small section is shown opposite the color-changing thread. Thread that changes color. This thread printed quite easily and I had no problems. It stuck to the adhesive base (I make my own bed glue) and had no problems. It looked great on the heated bed and even the spool changed color during printing. It has a beautiful sheer skirt and the colors when printed were yellow. When it was done, it didn't change color. Maybe a heated bed, I don't know. I was in a hurry to give someone a gift. I also tried using black highlights but as you can see it didn't work. The props were a bit difficult to remove but they were very easy to clean using a thumb nail and finally a riffler. I haven't used marble thread yet, but will in the future. I'll update this when I do. It is vacuum packed and stored in a rigid plastic container. All in all, these strands of Amole are awesome! I had very little scrap and that was poles and baseboards. I would love to see more combos or kits like this one from Amolen. I don't or don't always need a big spool, or I'm not sure about the filament, but a small spool will do. I'm sure any thread from amoles will work just fine, it just depends on how you think. You may need it to work (like the color change above). If you're looking for a great easy to print filament that sticks very well, you'll find success with Amoles when you get the chance. I can switch providers.
