Review on πŸ” Transparent Spool with Tight Filament Diameter Tolerance (2 2Lbs) by Mark Patterson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

First time PETG, no complaints

This was my first attempt at PETG printing. So far I've only used PLA. I have an Ender 3. I haven't changed anything on my slicer's PLA settings except for the nozzle and layer temperatures, which I've set to 245 and 80 respectively. I ended up setting the jet temp to 235 and the bed to 85L before all was said and done. Support on the bed was good, but the walls and padding didn't seem to feel very good. I stopped the Benchy I was typing and started over. Later on at the height, extrusion everything seemed fine. I thought maybe I need to slow it down. Of course, with a bit of speed adjustment, I managed to do it. The thread itself is actually a translucent orange color. I'd like to expect this and I haven't seen any mention of it anywhere. I don't know if they accidentally sent the wrong ones or if they are all translucent. It doesn't bother me at all, everything seems to be going well. Only recently found out that it can be opaque. All in all I've had a very positive experience with this PETG from Tronxy and will definitely be picking up another coil or two from them when I'm ready for more.

Pros
  • Wide compatibility
Cons
  • Not bad but...
