Polymaker PETG Black 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm 1kg, High Speed PETG up to 300mm/s, High Strength New Formula, Excellent Layer Adhesion, Warp Free, Compatible with Most 3D Printers

Came in a mylar vac sealed package. Very robust. Didn't dry it at all, just threw it into the printer and ran a benchy to start off with and see how the stock settings in the profile from the Polymaker website worked. Flawless. Literally zero defects right out of the package. It prints fairly hot at 255C, with a bed temp of 70C, and very limited cooling. The volumetric speed is about half the newer version (non legacy), and the line speed also quite slow relative to the polymaker HF PETG. It prints beautifully with a nice glossy sheen. Not a fan of the lower speed it needs, but the results were quite good.

So far I have only used the Black PETG (apparently the old formula) I have a few colors to try. I don't have a single complaint yet. Out of the bag and straight to printing, it's been loaded on my printer for prototyping some speaker podz for over a week now and still doing good. Pros compared to other brands I've tried: - Hardly any stringing at all - Smooth prints with a nice sheen - Layer adhesion is good - Spool is neatly and tightly wound - Yet to have a tangle - Does not appear to be AS brittle The only con I can find is it does not seem to handle bridging as well as the previous brand I was using.

The new formula is great. It’s basically high speed PETG but I love the color, quality and durability I get from it. Just make sure you dry it before printing as PETG absorbs moisture was faster than PLA.

A little bit of background: I've used Polymaker's PETG before, in translucent clear, and that's been a fantastic filament printing on my Ender 3 Pro with direct drive, E3D Revo with a .8mm nozzle and even on a textured PEI bed, no problems with that at 35mm/s - 55mm/s. Prints are strong, mostly warp free and look good aesthetically. For reference, the pictured prints were attempted on my Voron V0.2 with an E3D Revo with a .6mm nozzle, albeit quite a bit faster at around 100mm/s, which while faster than the recommended print speed on the spool, is no problem for other brands of PETG and PLA, those prints come out clean and well defined. Which is why it's baffling that the purple PolyLite PETG is so, just, bad at sticking to itself. It warps at the edges almost instantly, overhangs are completely hopeless, bridging is fine only if there's a single layer, any more than one layer of bridging and it'll shift the other lines of filament and cause even more problems. What looks like overheating layers seems to either be what it is, or a large lack of filament adhesion to itself in general. I tried to slow down the prints, down to about 60-70mm/s, but even then, the filament struggled to adhere to other lines and layers below past a certain point, telling me at least that there seemed to be an odd heat creep issue, which was more apparent in the temp tower, with sagging overhangs and bridges getting worse as the nozzle was getting cooler. Is it being printed too quickly? I'm not too sure, but there's not really any reason to pick this at all for modern printers that can print decently quickly if that's the issue. Pick any other PETG, even other Polymaker PETGs, especially the clear, unless you really need this color for some reason.

The color is nice, it comes in the same kind of bag that Corn Pops come in, and it was dry from the factory. There's even a preset in Orca for this exact filament! The only reason to take the star off is: 1. The spool says to print at 230 to 240. The 4 3DBenchys I tried to print in that range disagree with that. My K1 SE wants to print this at 255 with a 70C bed. 2. The spool ALSO says that the print speed should be between 80 and 100mm/s. That's not a lie. If you go too fast, everything either strings, warps, or tears into the part with reckless abandon. 3. So far, seams look pretty rough, but that's going to require tinkering with Orca settings. Speaking of Orca, the default settings for Polylite PETG have it set to print at 255C on an 70C bed, contradicting what's printed on the spool. Overall, the print quality is good, if you can get past it taking 3x as long as other PETG's. It is dimensionally accurate, at least.

Quality and reliability of this PETG is very high, compared to many brands. Have used and will use on many projects. This is my GO TO filament when needing strong parts. Does not string very much, and is a good buy for the cost. Failure is very uncommon when using correct technique.

Filament quality is exceptional. Best white PETG quality I've ever tried yet.

Pro: -tolle Farbe Contra: -Haftungsprobleme ohne Kleber -Zog trotz trocknen Fäden -teuer -musste recht langsam damit fahren Hatte es mir gekauft, weil ich das PolyTerra Filament gut find. Allerdings bin ich damit nicht gut gefahren. Kauf mir in Zukunft anderes PETG

Schönes Filament. Hatte beim Drucken keinerlei Probleme und die Farbe gefällt mir sehr gut

Ottimo, consiglio di tenerlo ad asciugare

Résultat à l’impression de piètre qualité par rapport à un autre produit similaire d’une autre marque tout en ayant utilisé les réglages de température préconisées par le fabricant.L’impression sort mate et non brillante entre autre . Assez déçu par cette marque d’autant plus qu’elle semble être en général assez bien notée.
