Well, somewhere along the line accidentally ordered a roll of PLA-F, so I’m trying it out. Manufacturer’s recommended nozzle temperature is 230-240C. I’m running it at 230C. It’s stringing faster than Superman in a harp factory. [Harp strings-400] Does anyone have experience with this stuff?

too hot maybe? I only get stringing with it’s too hot with PLA or PETG

I’ve edited my post. I meant to say I was running it at 230C - the manufacturer’s minimum recommended temperature. I also turned the speed down to 40mm/s. I’m letting it print to completion. Even if it’s a stringy mess, I’ll at least be able to check the fit. I’m reluctant to drop the temperature do…

Lego, Is that the ‘flexible’ pla? I have a few rolls of it but haven’t got to printing any. Google tells me that PLAf is a PLA/ABS material. I wonder if it is similar to Esun AB(s) filament low oder abs but they reduced most of the styrene so abs in name only. I have not used pla f I can’t find any…

I’l try changing the nozzle on the next print. Thanks for the tip (pun intended). I wouldn’t exactly call it flexible. It does feel slightly more flexible that normal PLA, but on ly slightly. There is no detectable odour. As for linking it, curiously, I can’t find any record of ever having ordered…

I am super curious I found this. Too little information but the article does suggest stringing issues. [image] PLA-F Blends PLA And ABS In the early days of 3D printing, most people used ABS plastic. It is durable and sticks well to simple surfaces. However, it smells and emits fumes th…

Have you tried a temp tower to find the sweet spot?

No. not yet. I jumped right into it because the project I was working on was running out of filament and I originally thought this was more of the same. I hadn’t realized it was PLA-F until after I loaded it in. When I realised it was slightly more translucent than the filament it was replacing, I c…

It is curious there seem to be lots of new blends appearing. It is quite exciting really!

This is my favourite filament so far in my limited experience. I use 235 nozzle and 60 bed. image|375x500 Smooth Print Filament PLA - F 1.75mm,PLA Blue 3D Printing Filament PLA for 3D Printer, 1kg Spool Blue https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08J2T3FGJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_4936GPZT0EEFGSCGC3PT?_encoding=UT…

I printed a temperature tower for PTEG that showed almost no difference across 30° range. I could only tell on the overhangs.
