3D Printer filament skuzzballs
We 3d print a lot of ABS. I have had some bad experiences with ebay sellers who provide poor quality filament.
Do not buy printer filament from: lillyvale4u.co.uk, ebay sellers “lillyvale”, “lillyvale2″, or any other seller found to link back to a company “dotcomliving”. If you find you have purchased ABS filament from these sellers, request to cancel the order right away.
We regularly print the same job which runs for several hours. Using our preferred “EFORINK” black ABS filament we have no issues with bed adhesion, and it prints self-release from the bed at about 45°C during cooling. We coat the glass heated bed with hairspray and this provides a great balance between good adhesion at bed operating temperature and easy release when finished.
Our main issue with lillyvale4u.co.uk/lillyvale2/dotcomliving filament is a complete lack of bed adhesion. Everything seems fine for the first hour or more, but the print will detach resulting in printing spaghetti at best, a complete machine crash at worst. A secondary issue we have noticed is a lot of popping during printing, indicating water/bubbles present in the filament.
Do yourself a favour and look for “EFORINK” filament. We find it is a good price and has good performance up to around 160mm/s max print speed for us.
