Review on Polymaker PolySmooth PVB Filament 2 by Jerry Chembola

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If the look of a 3D printed part is what you're after, then this Polysher block filament works damn well.

This filament is good on its own, but add Polysher to make it great. Prints very similar to PLA. I printed a few prints on the Ultimaker 3. It sticks well to the heated glass plate, but I use a thin layer of glue stick to make the parts easier to remove. I printed with 0.4mm and 0.25mm nozzles and it flowed well through both. It's not as durable as PLA. But PolyMaker's PolyMax is the way to go when you need durability. The material absorbs moisture, so it must be stored in a dry bag. The advantage of this thread is that the finished part is placed in a PolySher polisher, also from Polymaker. The lines created by the printed layers essentially merge and disappear. The 3D print looks faded and looks more like an injection molded part. You lose a few small details.

Pros
  • 3D Printing Filament
Cons
  • No Auto Print
