Premium PETG 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm - High Transparency Red, 750g Spool for Strong & Durable Prints | Perfect for Cosplay Props, Functional Parts & Artistic Creations

I mostly print with PLA.Thought I should learn to print with PETG, so I ordered some rolls of PETG. This is maybe the third or fourth roll of PETG.I had read online that that FormFutura made good filament. I got the Blinded Red because it is quite a bit cheaper than the other Formfutura HDglass colors. Basically, this filament just prints and prints without any problems. I'm getting minimal stringing and after it cools off, it easily pulls off my printer bed. It sticks to the print bed pretty well and I'm not losing prints to poor first layer adhesion. I'm just using generic PETG filament profiles.It prints much better for me than another brand (made in China) that I tried. It's on par with some Prusament filament which is pretty pricey.Now that I'm familiar with their product, I'll try other colors. Perhaps the Blind Red color is priced as a loss leader, maybe the low posted price here is a mistake.Edit: Well the rediculousy low price on the Blinded Red is no longer available. I did get a roll of Blinded Blue and Blinded White for really low. The low price (17 USD) on the Blind Blue is also gone. The blinded Blue prints just as well as the Blinded Red. I guess the pricing changes must be Amazon's way of micro-adjusting inventory. Anyway, got all of the FormFutura HD Glass in my wish list. I'll be getting more as I need it. At the curent pricing, it is a pricey filament but it does prints consistantly and reliably.The filament itself is great. Prints well and looks awesome. A unique offering to have tinted semi-translucent color options. However, zoom in on the image and you can see the vendor added a new barcode sticker with the wrong diameter. I ordered 10 and put them in a stack with my other filament. The first couple I printed were the right size 1.75 but later found these 5 rolls were 2.85 diameter. And now it’s past the return window so I may be stuck with it. Check these as soon as you get them.Working in projects with shell widths of 0.5 mm, and nozzle diameters of 0.4mm, it has been found that the product prints best at much higher temperatures than published and with the addition of bed temperatures. The sweet spot obtained by this user is 250 degrees C extruder temp, 50 degrees C, bed temp and 50 mm/sec speed. Clear? well..........sparkly translucent. I will be most probably, purchasing more.once you get your print speeds,retraction and heat settings dialed in this stuff is amazing..took me a while to get the above settings spot on with my da vinci pro 1.0 but it was well worth it as this stuff is a joy to print with now and zero nasty smells either.my settings were as follows,33mms overall print speed235 hot end70 bed6.80 retractioncoast 0.60layer hight 0.20.40 mm nozzlei found if you print fast with this stuff it breakes in the extruder but that could be because the da vinci uses a bowden extruder so on other makes you could get away with faster speeds.once you have set up your printer right its fantastic filament to use with zero warping or smell and no strining like other petg filaments ive tried.and to top it off its fully food safethe attached pictures are of the silver and red filaments, i will upload the white once its finished printingI would avoid this filament and go for something simpler unless you absolutely have to have the higher glass temperature not offered by PLA. Even ABS performs better than this one. Main issue with it - it is a mess to print with. Stringing happens all the time, no clear edges and you have to retract every time you do any travel at all to stand a chance of printing. Material hardness is not that great, only seems ever so slightly less brittle than PLA. I’ve had this thing stuck to nozzle like crazy at any temperature and once turn my nozzle into a giant blob of PETG.Forget about trying to get this printed in clear unless you go one layer thick (spiralize outer contour in Cura). If you are lucky it will come out on white. Likely you will have browned blobs where material stuck to nozzle, got burned and deposited later.I’ve wasted an entire roll of this pricey filament and have maybe one or two decent small prints out of it. Avoid.It's meant to be PetG but it acts like a primadonna PLA, difficult to get to stick to the heat bed and for me, nothing like the strength of a standard PetG filament. I won't be buying this again.There is a saying that you get what you pay for!Very easy to use gives good clean prints, far better than Real, use this for things that matterWith the right settings, its superb & good value, very strong.
