Review on Enhance Your 3D Printing with Filament Printing Materials CC3D Chocolate by Michael Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Broke a bed of tempered glass. [UPDATED]

[UPDATED] I set the temperature to 190 and the prints come out pretty good, just be careful not to align your bed too close to the extruder and you'll get great results! Sorry for the first review! [UPDATE 2] As default, 0.3mm 1st layer makes the whole print perfect in the end ;) Don't get me wrong, this filament is great, I printed a 0.12mm thick piece. on my Sidewinder SW X1 and the result is amazing. Now for the bottom. I used this thread twice, the first time to print the base for the model (about 10cm wide, 1cm high). My Sidewinder is fairly new so there is still a fresh layer of "whatever" on the bed which is causing it to stick to PLA etc. But none of the other PLAs I've used did what this one did, they all bounce off instantly as quickly as the bed cools. The first layers just stuck like they were glued to the bed, I actually broke the printed models twice and I had to scrape the remaining PLA off the bed. It took me 20 minutes the first time, but I managed to clean it without damage. Well, it didn't work out the second time. Shards of glass just bounced off my bed. Before I say anything else, I typed at 200c/50c, I took every precaution to tidy the bed, didn't go insane or anything. Yes, I had to work hard to remove the extra layers that were "glued". But as you can see in the picture there is still some PLA on the bed! I'm sad because this thread is great, but now I have a damaged build plate that I can't fix without spending a lot of money. I'm thinking of the Wham Bam magnetic sheet but I don't even know if it's worth it. Please be careful when using this tempered glass filament (it's brand new).
