Pleasantly surprised! I was skeptical but hopeful that a Canadian made filament would be great, especially considering there are only a few suppliers of PCTG in the world. I use a Bambu A1 with AMS. I ran Bambu's Generic PCTG filament profile and printed a temperature tower right out the gate. I run my first layers slow, at about 50% of their default, to help with bed adhesion. I also run bridge flow at 1.5 and bridge speed at 10mm/s which typically lets me do long unsupported bridges. The temp...

Compares favorably to Bamboo and eSun high speed filaments and produces tough, strong parts @ 300mm/sec. Higher speeds are possible, but sacrifice strength somewhat. 375mm/sec for infill is my max comfort zone although I have printed as high as 500mm/sec in vase mode where strength isn't an issue. It's my new go-to standard filament. Now if only FD would increase the range of colours -- at the very least, get the ones they do list back in stock! Shown are a bunch of parts I printed for the ...

Great choice for strong functional parts. It produces usable prints over a wide range of settings. The attached photo shows the range from under- to over-extrusion, yet it still holds together and rebounds to the original shape after extreme distortion. Also attached is the CF printed version of my snowblower gear (shown in the plain nylon review). This is printed very dense (8 walls with solid infil) yet there was very little warpage. It did not let go of the bed during printing, it actuall...

Love this filament. It prints super crisp and clean with the standard bambu generic pctg profile with a 5 C bump in bed temp and nozzle. Not sure it was needed but I started with that and it's been great. The standard profile does print it pretty slow, which might have something to do with how good it turned out. Has a lot more ductility than petg. I've been bend-testing it and it has good flexibility. Will be testing on a front lip spoiler as I'm using it primarily for automotive, so it will s...

I bought one roll each of the green and the rainbow to print an extending light sabre for my grandson. The translucent glittery finish makes a nice effect against the matte handle. It prints well with my standard PLA settings, except that I bumped up the extrusion temp 5°C because I used a hardened steel nozzle. I used a hardened nozzle because I figure anything that glitters is probably abrasive, right? The green is particularly vibrant, the rainbow is more muted in colour. The glitter effe...

The AMS works very well and allows you to use multiple colours when completing 3D prints. You have to make sure the spools you use are compatible with the device, there is a list available on the Bambu wiki site that provides this information. So far I have not had any issues with the AMS, but the instructions provided don’t really tell you much about it. Again, there is information available online that can assist with most questions you may have. So far I am quite happy with the results I ...

For the price, this is some of the best PLA I have ever used. I have gone thru 5 roles so far, and I have found that the roles are consistently very dry. I put them in my dryer and after about an hour the dryer reads 20% relative moisture. So there literally ready to use out of the bag with little to no bubbling evident. Since I'm making relatively large prints, like the core sections for my new race car wing, which will be 6 feet long when assembled and fiber glassed over. I needed to prin...

In my opinion, this is an absolutely must have product. Flawless adhesion of PLA. I print many board game related products for my store (gamerstable.ca) and want the items I sell in store to be perfect. I purchased one a few weeks ago after having either poor adhesion with the Bambu cool plate, or brutally strong adhesion using the purple glue. I was tired of it. So I gave this flex/textured plate a try and literally immediately ordered a second for my other X1 Carbon. Do yourself a favo...

At the current price, there's no reason to buy any other variety of PLA. Without heat treatment it's like any other and I use it as such. But for applications that need to be heat resistant it can be tempered in an oven at the glass transition temperature (170-175°F seems to work well in my oven). Note: it will soften and may distort during the heat treatment, so make sure it is adequately supported (I have seen recommendations to encase it in fine sand or similar to prevent movement when soft...

Using this currently to make a structural component in a very demanding setup. Unparalleled layer adhesion if printed correctly, nearing injection molded strength. Once conditioned in a humid environment, it is singlehandedly the strongest material I've ever tested. Insane impact resistance, superior layer to layer bonding, barely any warping, no need for enclosure. I'm printing in 19°C room and my later adhesion is superb and warping is non existent. The best filament there is for industrial st...

First time using a 3D printer, though I am experienced with CAD programs, and technically inclined. I simply unpacked, did an alignment check, where I did a slight z adjustment, and away I went, beautiful prints with only a small amount of stringing. Square, dragon, castles, soldier, filament roll adapter, bun cutter and still going strong; I think this is fair testament to how user friendly this is. Yeah, I know I am not getting the "full" 3D printer effect of a do-it-yourself model or such, bu...
