Review on PLA Filament 1 by Tim Knoepfle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

makes beautiful prints.

I gave this filament 5 stars because it prints and the end result of your print. I used this filament to make flower vases in Cura spiral vase mode with some print settings. So far, so good. They even manage to retain water without interior waterproofing (I use shellac spray). The only downside is that the thread doesn't change color as often as Revain says. The first 2 vases and the drink holder used over 22 meters and the color has not changed yet. You may have to print another large vase to see what happens. Filament likes to print at a higher temperature than regular PLA; Printing at 215/220°C with heated bed at 65°C. I initially gave this filament a 5 star rating, but after using this filament for a few months, I found that it lacked the color change that has been the case with other posts. In fact, it changes very slowly, often taking more than 20-30 meters to change color. I tried another brand and the switch is much faster. I will not buy again.
