PRILINE PETG-1KG 1.75 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 1kg Spool, 1.75 mm, Black

PRILINE Black has turned out to be a good value. I started buying this at $15 a roll, it has gone up in price, but still a good value. The material prints very well and seems less affected by humidity. I do keep my material in a dry box. I was previously using AMAZON Basics PETG and their black PETG is terrible. I threw away most of what I printed with that material. Amazon even replaced a roll (at no charge) after I finally complained, that roll also went into the trash, about 1/2 way through the roll, it simply would not print. Strange, but the other AMAZON PETG seems to be good, it is just the black that gives me trouble. With the PRILINE, I get more usable prints and better quality as well. Not sure what they do, but, for now it is working. This Material has a dull or matte finish, not shiny as other PETG seems to be. Unfortunate that they do not offer many colors as others. One criticism, the spools are not wound very carefully, so you do see some overlapped strands. This has not caused any issues, but it could be a concern for some people.

Must have gotten a crap spool as I read nothing but great things about this brand/roll. Unfortunately I was not successful with this filament printing within its stated temperatures, tried many times changing up temps, speeds, and fan speeds, still no luck. Either the filament was too hot and warping, or the fan was too strong and would cause just enough drag at the nozzle to cause the hob gear to chew up the oddly soft filament and stop extruding. Ended up having to pull out another different brand spool to make my time sensitive prints in the wrong color. Despite the popping and sizzling from the moisture in this roll (it was with my house hold goods on a ship from Japan to Hawaii) it printed the 19hr print that this one couldnt. Will try more extreme variances later to try and get it to work, if I do will post up the settings needed to succeed.

I've printed a couple of things, mostly stuff for my car such as the pictured phone holder.Pros: Good layer adhesion, prints turn out quite tough and strong. Finished products look pretty nice.Cons: Heavy warping, much heavier than any other PETG filament that I've worked with. Sometimes heavy enough warping to break it off the print bed. The warping makes it so that anything you make that's supposed to fit together with another part is probably going to need hand fitting, unless the design has some VERY loose tolerances. Also has poor bridging characteristics compared to other PETG filaments that I've used. All the other issues are pretty standard for PETG and don't factor into this review.

I have had the hardest time trying to get this brand of PETG dialed in. I have used many other PETG's and able to get a stable print but I can't with this brand.My set up:Ender 5stock build plateMicroswiss hotendMicroswiss hardened nozzleCapricorn bowden tubeI have also tried this on my CR10 with microswiss hotend and capricorn bowden tube.Adhesion has also been an issue and also flow of material. I've tried to like it but I have to go with another brand.

Update: I'm striking *two* stars because dimensional accuracy didn't live up to what's being advertised. I was having feed issues, so I measured it, and I'm getting 1.71mm thickness when my other filaments are clocking in at 1.74-1.75. You get what you pay for, I guess.Print quality was great. Strings quite a bit, to the point where it makes a fine microfiber curtain between parts if you're printing multiple items. Needs post-processing with a heat gun to melt off the fine strings, but definitely worth it for the price.

El color final de las piezas y la adherencia entre capas es excelente. Se puede imprimir desde 230 grados para lograr un acabado semi-mate, hasta 240 grados para un acabado algo brillante. Solo se debe tomar la precaución de no imprimir directo sobre PEI, porque se adhiere muy bien. Lo mejor es poner una capa de pegamento en barra (lápiz adhesivo) e imprimir encima. Si el PETG se pega bien al PEI, poner alcohol isopropilico, dejar remojar un poco y separar con calma.

I really like this PETG. It prints easily and has the feel of a quality product, unlike most PLAs, which feel sorta cheap to me. The black has a satin sheen, and a solid black hue. It prints very well on mirrors, with no need for anything but a alcohol wipe. I've been happily printing overnight at 235°/75°/40mm. This filament is opaque, not transparent. It's also flat black, not shiny. Products made with this feel like higher quality items.

Once you get this dialed in - it is nice. I had to up my nozzle temp about 10 degrees.
