Hi all, I experienced some difficulties with the original BambuLab PETG that I bought together with my X1C and see a lot of topics from people who also struggle to achieve nice prints. At some point, I suspected the filament itself and wanted to know if other brands behave better. In one of those P…

First off, Kudos for an excellent and thorough analysis and for sharing your finding. I have broken my own promise to myself in keeping up to date a spreadsheet I’ve been trying to build on this very topic. My spreadsheet however, is based on qualitative metrics and price, I do not have the instrum…

Thank you for the kind words! I don’t feel like buying additional spools just for testing, maybe that wasn’t so clear :joy: There are two brands that I’m still interested in for PETG. Those are Polymaker and Prusa. Maybe I find somebody among my friends who can spare some. Anyway I had a look into …

I’ve had some limited experience with VoxelPLA’s PLA and PETG. Of possible interest is that when I do the orca slicer calibrations on it, the result is much closer to the default profiles for BBL filaments than other filaments that I’ve tried. On the downside, the grey has a very blue tint look t…

Just wanted to let you know that I bought some HZST3D filament based on your recommendation, and so far I’m impressed with the value. It hit 22mm/s in a volumetric flow test, looks beautiful from 220-250C on my temp tower, and I get plastic spools that are the same size as Bambu and fit perfectly in…

NICE!!! Thanks for the feedback. This helps the community here to have others weigh-in good or bad but I’m glad to see that others found similar value.

Well, looks like HZST3D is no longer an option, as Amazon can’t really get it back in stock consistently. That’s a pity, as it’s good stuff. The CC3D never worked quite as well for me, but it had some interesting color options.

[image] Alex_vG: My next topic for investigation will be creep behaviour of different materials. In my opinion, this is a heavily underrated material property. Yet, there are almost no systematic tests available. Seems like enough time has passed. What did you find out? Any conclusions? I’…

You mentioned that before, and I believe they are the same manufacturer. The spools I’ve received so far state that the CC3D is meant to run 10C hotter (and does in my temp towers) and in my testing it also runs about 2mm/s slower on Max volumetric flow to have consistent first layer adhesion.

[image] NeverDie: Seems like enough time has passed. What did you find out? Any conclusions? Yes, very true. Actually I started a first test early after with PLA, PETG, ASA and PC. But I quickly realised, that there more variables than i assumed and I lost motivation to continue. In that ver…
