Review on πŸ–¨οΈ RepRapper 1: Easy-To-Print Black PETG Filament for 3D Printer – Efficient & High-Quality by Issac Burnett

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Most likely my fault

I have high hopes for this stuff because I see the RepRap name all over YouTube and 3D printer information in general so I'm hoping someone from the seller will get back to me and I can get advice on how to deal with my problems. I'll keep testing stuff (since I'm still 3lbs) and will update if I find better results. So I liked how this material is packaged and I like the size of the spool. Also, there are no problems with tangling or uneven diameters yet. It prints fine but I had 2 problems with it, maybe someone can help me with this? 1) First I bought pure white PLA+ filament and got some random color spots here and there that look like inconsistent material colors or random burnt blobs. I print at normal speed and the material doesn't stay in the nozzle for too long. Maybe it's my slicer and temperature settings, not sure yet. It's not bad, just random every now and then, probably due to clogging of the nozzle on my previous filament, but I haven't had this problem with other brands of white filament. 2) My BIG issue with the material so far is that it seems to warp more than typical PLA/PLA+, when I print large prints I get serious Z-stripes that are random. I reprinted the same GCode in other PLA brands and the results were flawless, leading me to believe it was the stuff. Again, these could be my temperature settings, so any advice would be great. It could also be wet stuff and just needs to dry, I'll try to dry it out and update this review again. I am currently using white PLA+ at 210 degrees. nozzle and 60 degrees. Enderbett 5+ with hero me Gen 5 cooling system and bimetal thermal insulation. I settled on 210 on the nozzle after a temperature tower test and read Amazon's recommended print temperature of 200-230.

Pros
  • 3D Printing Filament
Cons
