Review on Get Perfect Prints With HATCHBOX PETG 3D Printer Filament In Gold, 1.75 Mm, 1 Kg Spool With +/- 0.03 Mm Dimensional Accuracy by Marcos Oner

Great filament good for me

I have absolutely zero experience with PETG, this was my first time. I usually print in PLA.I wanted to give a shot to PETG and went with HATCHBOX as they are my go-to PLA provider.Packaging was the usual excellent experience I have with them: vacuum-sealed roll, no knot or anything. In short: as good as usual.I am a very amateur 3D printer: I never check the variation in thickness of the filament, I mostly use Cura with default settings and my printer is an Alphawise U20. That's for context. I was reasonably nervous about using something that seems (according to comments on the internet) a lot more trouble to print. Particularly with adhesion: I have a glass hotbed and never put glue or anything on it. I was not kin on beginning.Imagine my surprise when after 6 out of 6 successful prints, I had no issue at all. No adhesion issue (I print with the bed at 90 C), no wrapping or layer issue (first layer at 245C and next at 238C), great quality and, great color.The one piece of advice: remove the support right after printing. It can be troublesome to remove after they cool down. Also: Tree support ftw.So it's fair to say that I'm satisfied.PS: 238C for the nozzle temperature is not the result of some trial system or anything it's just the average rounded up between 235 and 240 because I could not decide on the temperature. I told you: lazy amateur here.
