A bit skeptical for filament at this price, but I have been pleasantly surprised by this. Very good adhesion on a glass bed at a starting temp of 70 deg and dropping to 60 after 3 layers. Nozzle would normally be quite high for petg but it prints nicely at 230 deg. And the blue colour is quite nice as well.
Needed a bespoke sealing washer for my sink with square tap holes. This filament from Yoyi Yoyi worked first time using the default settings and a 0.4mm nozzle on my Flashforge Adventurer 5M. Excellant adhesion with no requirement for glue. Seven items now printed off with no faults found. And yes, it sealed my sink.
This was an easy substitute for standard PLA without needing to adjust any settings in my BambuLabs printer. Supports will be more difficult to remove since they’re not rigid, but a knife and pliers gets the job done. Detail holds surprisingly well! It’s a relatively rigid structure but flexes with enough pressure.
I was looking for a high speed TPU. This worked like a charm, not a string in sight, with that said I’ve dried it for couple of hrs on 70*c
I know others had very bad PETG of other colours from this maker.
But this Gray PETG I brought is great filament to use.
Very smooth printing, nice look and is really easy to use.
Although I not had a perfect print Yet, that is not the filament that is just me having to work out the best temperatures to print at? The normal sort of thing for us all. a new filament brand a new testing to tune in the printing!
I found that the nozzle temperature is the main one to work out now as the bed one is fine and holds the prints down well.
So take this as a semi good printing starting temperature to print at from what I done sofar?
I did 240 C on the nozzle and 70 C on the bed of my Elegoo Neptune 3 printer.
( a fantastic auto leveling printer btw and a great price to buy from Elegoo website )
Anyway back to the filament results, This temp on the nozzle of 240 C seems to be too high as I had sme blobs and stringing on big areas f the walls of my print?
So I would say maybe 240 C is too high for even this PETG ( they normally need this )
I think maybe if you get this good filament try between 215 C to 220 C as I will do some heat and retraction tests soon! I will post a update later on if I found the sweet spot for the temperature?
Buy it as it is a low price for a very good filament that just needs some testing of the printing settings.
At 10.99p for a 2 Kg spool of PETG gray that is great value.
This is a very good value PLA filament at the 13.99/kg I purchased it for.
The colour is even, and it prints well on my Ender 3 without significant clogging or stringing.
However, this material is more brittle that other PLAs which I have used; this isn’t a significiant issue since most of my models are not put under strain, but the fialment will occasionally snap before being fed into the extruder after each print is finished. (I believe this may be due to tortional stresses which build up over the course of a print)
My sweet spot between too much heat causing additional roughness and too little heat causing under-extrusion was at 218c. Colder temperatures cannot be used, as despite the roughness that the hot nozzle introduces, it’s only just hot enough to adequately melt the plastic in time for high speed extrusion.
