rigid.ink - The Most Reliable Translucent Orange PETG Filament 1.75mm for 3D Printing and Pens *0.03mm+/- Tolerance* 3D Printer Filament 1KG Spool

Haven't had a single problem with rigid.ink filaments at all. Really love the colour of this one, and its really easy to print with. I printed @ 230c.

Best PETG I've tried.Adhesion is no problem at all, colours are great and the finish is really spectacular.

Great 3D prints with this filament.

So I have a little bit of a story for this product. I have had problems starting with this new material. Mostly I have printed in PLA, ABS and a few PLA type filaments, this was my first go with PETG. Initially I could not get it to stick to the bed. I had the temperature up where it needed to be and I was using Kapton covered glass, which has served me well since I started some 6 years ago! So I moved over to blue painters tape. That worked, a little too well, I was not able to totally remove the tape from the finished print. I tried a couple of other variations, extrusion multipliers, Z-axis gaps but to no avail. Admitting defeat I contacted rigid.ink. I was pointed in the direction of 3DLAC, a spray you coat the glass bed with and while the printer is hot holds the print down, but as soon as the bed cools it will (genreally) release the print with no issues. So I brought some and wow it worked. So easy to apply to (compared to my large width kapton tape!). Finally I was able to get the printer going with amazing adhesion. Then I hit my next issue, extruder jams. The print would start well but eventually, after a few layers, start to jam and then stop extruding. This took AGES to figure out, I messed about with temperatures, many many retraction amounts. It only became apparent when I notice that one of my other favourite PLA filaments was also jamming when I had no retraction at all. I happened to touch the cooling fins and notice that they were REALLY hot. Turns out the fins on my extruder had gotten clogged with fluff (as anything with forced air will) which killed its ability to keep the cool end, well, cool. As such the melt zone had moved up into an area where the filament has a tiny amount of leeway and would soften and kink. So I cleaned the fins and the fan and now I am getting amazing prints from this stuff!Long story short, use 3DLAC (or similar) and make sure your extruder cooling at its best and this is an amazing filament. No warp at all (that I have noticed and I have done some large prints, no smell (although keep air flow coming through as I did get a little light-headed on one particular long print and I had forgotten to open the window) and has a great shiny finish. If you have any issues with a rigid.ink filament contact them, they are more than willing to help!

I could not get on with it at all will not stick to bed have tried glue/ tape also heated bed cold bed to no avail

Beautiful colour and prints well. Only thing that stops me giving it five stars is the price. In the small 300g reels it costs double the price of standard PETG.

The quality of the product is very good, the customer service and help is worth the extra money. I've had to print really slowly to get my first layer to stick, what i found is the painters tape comes unstuck when the petg shrinks. But the finish of the petg is very good, layrr adhesion is amazing and ive never had a problem with delamination. I'm just a hobbyist with a cheap self built printer playing around with it, anybody willing to put the time in to tweak the settings will get even better results I'm sure.

Tried a small sample was nice to print with changed retraction to reduce strings and pronted nice kept it hot (50%fans) and part is indestructable!?!
