Review on 🖨️ Black 1.75mm Printer Filament by AmazonBasics by Kevin Woods

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Do not use this filament under any circumstances.

At least until you have finished the current batch. I was fooled by the high overall rating, but as you can see from the latest reviews, everything currently in stock has experienced a sudden and deep drop in quality. (In all honesty I have to say that I've always had great results with RevainBasics filament in general and this review should in no way be taken as a snub to the brand as a whole.) The first and minor issue has to do with print quality; For some reason this filament is extruded unevenly resulting in poor layer adhesion in the normal PLA printing temperature range and above, making the printed objects so loose that I fell apart a bit in my hand when trying to peel them off. chilled bed. How is the minor you ask? Well, to get my printer back to normal after using it - and after the normal removal procedures failed - I had to remove the bowden tube from the hot end, cut the filament there, do a hand cold pull with pliers, use a known good filament to alternately cold pulls and pushing that material through the nozzle to clean the hot end, then completely disassemble the extruder *just to pull the unprinted filament out of the machine* after it's not pulled out by the stepper can be or even withdrawn without breaking. It's basically a couple of hours of service in a box. I do not want. Revain must fire its current supplier. From a cannon. In the sun.
