Using CR-10 S4 printer with 57C bed, 204C nozzle, filament printed smoothly. Turned out beautiful product. Large product geometry (11” x 8”) showed even melting. This is a good filament. Wish PrintOxe sold an ST PLA.it's light brown, nothing special about it, nothing to jump for joy overThe spool says to print at 190-200c. Tried 190 and it was just creating a big blob/bubble of plastic on the nozzle - not actually extruding - obviously way too hot. Dropped to 180 and it got better, but still left a lot of bubbles and gaps in the print - that was a print that started 2 minutes after opening the vacuum bag and loading it into the printer.And speaking of the vacuum bag - it seems they forgot to vacuum it. Bag was loose with a lot of air inside.Spool is poorly rolled - lots of snags and tangles which will cause failed prints.Filament has a strong odor - very plastic-y, even before you start printing with it - the smell hit me the moment I opened the bag. Only gets stronger when you start printing with it.Would not release from the bed either - ended up having to break the print to get it off the glass. Never had this problem with any other pla before.Oh, and it's not actually wood impregnated - it's just high gloss beige filament. Looks nothing like wood. Maybe if it wasn't shiny it might pass as wood but no chance of that here.I'll be returning it and won't be buying this brand again.Finely got it today even tho it shipped out a day later and got it a day later after I got the rest of my stuff I gotDidn't hold up well on several prints.works greatPésimo producto. No imprime bien y tiene mucha humedad. Testeado en Ender 5 plus con skr pro y estrusion directa con bmg.This transparent filament gives me nice smooth prints with hardly any curling of the edges and it bridges very well. minimal stringing and the supports remove cleanly. Heavy cross sections appear milky in color and single walls look pretty clear. Finished prints are kind of hard and brittle but the details are nice and clean. I think it is a very good filament for the price. I have not tried any of the other colors. I print on an Flsun qq s pro.I’ve printed probably 400 spools of PLA, PETG, ABS, TFU over the years. I wanted to start a project which required a “wood” look and I didn’t want to paint “wood” from scratch. So I made the mistake and bought this brand. Wow.. that’s all I can say. What low quality control, terrible packaging, and the color is NOWHERE near the color of any wood I’ve ever seen.The spool arrived completely unraveled. They didn’t use tape or plastic or anything else to secure the filament before vacuum dealings. So the moment it’s opened.. it’s unravels everywhere. Took me an hour to unspool it and re-spool it again to get rid of the knots.The color.. “wood”? Not even close. It’s actually “cream”. Identical to if you made a coffee with 80% cream in it.. that’s the color. No where near the color of “wood”. It’s “off-white” or “beige”. But they figure claiming “wood” will get more sales.The filament is vastly inconsistent. After 2 failed prints (which I haven’t had in probably a year with PLA) I measured the filament in various places. It was +\- sometimes up to 0.12mm in certain places. Completely unacceptable for filament.If you truly don’t care about how your prints come out or just using this for drafting purposes, then go for it. But if you want quality prints that are consistent, strong, and don’t tangle and jam up your nozzle.. stay farrrr away from this garbage.I'm using a Creality CR-20. I'm also using a glass bed. Extruder at 200c and heated bed at 60c has turned out perfect prints for me every time. I've been printing out a massive amounts of chess sets, using this red instead of black. Transparency has been great. As with all transparent filament, you can see right through your object and see all of the infill walls, giving your objects a cool unique look.The filament has a shiny quality which I've seen with all transparent filament. It almost looks like there is silver mixed in at times. This is usually on well concentrated areas. Check out the photos of my spiral chess set to see what I mean.Overall - no complaints and one of the best filaments I've used.First of all let me state that I went through a lot of this PLA in the past and was always pleased with it.Recently something changed and the print quality got horrible, at first I thought it was my printed but nothing fixed the issues, after switching to the left over from an old roll of the same brand everything looked good.The product changed, the font of the sticker on the spool is slightly different and there is an extra bag with the new spools. I have tried to of the "new" spools and the results are as bad.Unfortunately I will not be buying this product again.I got a lot of bubbles in this filament. I tried lowering the temperature, that would cause it to jam a little due to not melting fast enough. I was able to produce a part, but with all the bubbling, the accuracy is thrown off. If this was for an art project, this filament would have been completely trash.Conclusion: It stuck to the bed, produced my part, but Jamming vs bubbles, those seemed to be the only 2 options.
