I haven’t done any scientific testing but from what I can see and feel, this filament seems to have really good layer adhesion and general strength, Printed a small hook yesterday that was around 10mm diameter (235c 3 perimeters at 0.6mm nozzle/0.3mm LH) and I could not break it with my hands no matter how hard I tried.
Where the filament has chopped fibres, it has quite a rough surface finish, however for me this is a bonus as it is quite regular and hides a lot of the layer lines, even at 0.3mm layer height.
The stiffness of the material is not as high as some other filaments that I have tried that have chopped fibres (Adnorth rigid X for example, but that is very stiff).
Stiffness aside, the general strength/toughness seems to be really good. I am going to continue to use it as my main material for functional prints.
Excellent PETG that is easy to print with. I ordered the PETG Eco Orange as I needed to replace the display frame and selector on my Prusa MK2S, and this orange is very close to Prusament Orange but at a much lower price. Printed well on my Prusa Mini, probably one of the best PETG I have used. I use 230 hotend and 70 bed and that seems to be good for my prints. Highly recommended!
I initially tried printing this using a model sliced for some PLA and just adjusting the temperature. It didn’t do too badly, but warped at the edges causing the print to get knocked over at quite a height.
Slicing the model at 0.3mm and setting the material to a generic PETG and my model printed out all OK. The finished product has a bit of a sheen to it, more so that a standard PLA would.
Removing the model from the build plate was very easy too, I think mainly down to the more solid nature that PETG takes on rather than PLA. Adhesion during printing though was very good (build plate was at about 80C, so the cooling plate helped to release the print).
I like the plastic spool (yes, boo me if you wish for not being eco, but I have had cardboard ones fall apart), and being PETG it will need to be de-humidified as PETG is hygroscopic.
The filament did also come with a resealable bag for keeping it in.
Clogged on first print but then heeded advice to turn it a few deg above 230 and reduce print cooling under 50% and it came out great. No flex on 5mm thickness areas, rigidity as good as expected.
It arrived nicely vacuum sealed and with the PLA informly wrapped around the spool. I love the cardboard look to outer edge of spool too. Very happy with the results of it. A very smooth finish and this is a brand that I will now keep an eye on going forwards.
