CC3D 2.85mm Silk Sapphire Blue 3D Printer PLA Filament - 1KG (2.2LBS) - Shiny Dark Deep Blue Material

Predictable performance with 210 degree nozzle and 60 degree bed. Direct drive extruder on the Taz Workhorse was certainly a deciding factor, also, but I can't complain with the packaging, delivery or state of vacuum seal of a truly pretty filament.

No problems printing with this on my luzlbot mini legacy machine

Works for a create+ doodler pen. Have to straighten the plastic slightly before the pen will grab it correctly. Definitely cheaper than the doodler pen website.

This werqed OK for me

This worked excellent for the displays that I made. Love the color

I've spent far too much time adjusting settings, temps, etc, trying to get this to print consistently. The best I've gotten is 15 minutes before it no longer extrudes. Not sure if its heat creep, the filament doesn't have enough friction, or what. 20 bucks down the drain.

Based on looks: 5/5Based on ease of use: 1/5This has been a really difficult filament to get working with an old Taz 5. I lost several prints to grinding, and as others have notices, it is quite brittle and breaks in the feed tube. However, there are workarounds.To eliminate grinding: Make the extruder tension arm extremely tight. Make it tighter than you think is wise. I also lowered the retraction to only 0.5 mm (default was 2mm) and the retraction rate to half the default value (which I don't recall). I lowered print speed to no faster than 50 mm/s and travel to only 75 mm/s. With these changes, I never ground filament again.To deal with the breaking: Unspool approximately the amount of filament you need and coil it somewhere near the extruder (I coiled around the extruder wiring). If you have a bowden tube, I don't have a solution for you.This worked for me, your mileage may vary. Should you get this filament? If you are willing to deal with the quirks, it results in very nice looking prints, and it is very affordable. If you prioritize ease of use, probably look elsewhere.

The filament is great; good color, good consistency, good print quality, but... it's brittle. You HAVE to use this with a dryer after the first 1/4 of the role or it will start to break inside of your guide tube. I am using this on a Lulzbot TAZ 6, and after the first 1/4 of the role it starts breaking every inch or so inside the tube if it isn't preheated. once you get down to the last 1/3 of the spool it breaks at such a sharp angle that it grabs the inside of the tube and will not feed at all.But once you use it through a dryer (heater) it becomes pliable enough to feed correctly, and prints beautifully. I would have rated it 5 stars if I didn't have to buy a heater, and go through so much trouble to get it to feed out of the heater.
