When printing with PETG, you must consider using a cooling fan. The rapid cooling helps to keep print detailed with no stringing and blobs. If you need the strongest possible print, print with no fan. The higher filament temperature will aid extra strong layer adhesion. We recommend printing the first few layers without the cooling fan to prevent warping and half fan power on after that. Number of perimeters & strength Interestingly, I did need to run my printer bed and extruder temperatures about 5 degrees higher than recommended on all my filaments and I question whether this may be a printer specific. Certainly the default settings on Slic3r PE are quite high.
Next, I bought recycled filament; Filamentive (red). I really wanted this to be successful and admire their initiative. PLA is degradable but not as eco-friendly as I would like. It is commonly made from genetically modified crops and still takes an awfully long time to degrade unless in optimal conditions. It generally finds itself onto landfills which are suboptimal conditions and take decades to break down. This filament was good but sadly I did have some significant fails and had to run the extruder up 5 degrees higher than they recommend reducing fails, but this did affect the finish. Not a bad filament and perhaps I had a bad batch, I did try drying it out as I suspected water content which improved it a bit. I was so keen for this to be my chosen filament. Normally filament is wound onto plastic spools. We recognised that winding 3D Printer filament onto a plastic spool is completely unnecessary. All our Ooznest Material filaments are wound onto a 100% recyclable cardboard spool. Our cardboard spools are extremely rigid, they will not twist, deform, or tear from repeated use. The preassembled version of the Original Prusa i3 MK3S is a cinch to get up and running, is easy to operate, and has a good slicing program. It produced consistently beautiful prints in our testing, with no misprints. – PC Mag Review The team at Prusa Research have made something special with the MK3. If you only ever own one printer, make it this one. Of course, once you buy it you will want more of them, and that's ok too. – Windows Central Review My short summary of filaments in the UK is based on my own experience guided by the kind contributions from contributors above. This may be an unfair comparison as I am new to 3d printing and I was comparing different colours which does affect PLA properties so take this at face value. All the filaments I tried were good, but some were better.
We tested it using its default settings and found it extremely capable. Its print quality is truly exceptional and it’s an easy-to-use, straightforward machine. – All3DP MK3S Review I have a friend in England with a Mendel Duet printer that says he uses nothing but Rigid Ink PLA and he is quite fussy. I was given an unmarked 1kg roll of silver PLA with my printer, presumably Prusa PLA which is now superseded by Prulament, a filament not yet available in UK, unless shipped from abroad at significant cost. This roll was not bad, did some nice builds with it but with occasional unexpected fails. When successful; the finish was brilliant, my Masterspool print looks immaculate. Amongst the Benchys, I also ran 3 cube/vase mode prints to get the extrusion multiplier just right, did another Benchy, but still couldn’t eliminate the stringing. If you can handle the oozing and strong adhesion, you’ll be left with a very durable print, that is considerably temperature resistant and usable for both indoor and outdoor use.In the photo below, from left to right the temperatures are 193, 195, 205, 210. The 193 version completed and had seemed to have the least amount of stringing, but split along the bottom when I removed it from the plate and showed signs of under extrusion/layer separation), I didn’t grab a photo of the 215 version, but I couldn’t see any noticeable difference between it and the 210 version.
