Review on LulzBot PolyLite Polymaker Filament Purple: Superior Quality & Vibrant Color by Tim Paolucci

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Prints very well - 3D printing filament

I have to admit that I bought this filament simply because I liked the colour. This is Lulzbot's "signature" color and I have a TAZ 5 of this. I usually use ABS because it's supposed to be more "in the sun" and friendly. I was a bit worried when a browser had problems. Earlier I wrote that I used PLA with the same settings as ABS without any problems. It was 240/110. It didn't work this time with the same settings. The initial layer looked "melted" and not very good. Another reviewer for this product said they used 215/60, a tad cooler, just a tad cooler. I usually keep the bed at 50 until I can take the cast, sometimes the next day. I don't know if it matters. So I changed my settings. But I"fat" and introduced 205/60. But the prints are great! I'm very happy with the results so far and will probably buy other colors. Not to be too critical, but with 3D printing you enter the land of "trial and error”.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Thin
