ELEGOO 1.75mm PLA 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02 mm, Compatible with Most FDM Printer, Black 2KG

Hace unas semanas escribí esta reseña dónde odié completamente este filamento, pero tengo que actualizar mi opinión al respecto y explico por que, al igual dejo mi antigua reseña específicamente para el color negro... Posterior a poner mi reseña, el equipo de Elegoo se puso en contacto conmigo para saber más al respecto de lo que había pasado y porque estaba poniendo esa calificación tan mala (era de 1 estrella) después de mostrarles fotos de como quedó todo y de la pésima calidad, decidieron enviarme unos rollos de prueba pero esta vez en color blanco. La verdad ni siquiera los quería poner en mis máquinas porque tenía miedo que fueran a dañar algo, así que me tardé como 2 semanas en tener el coraje de probarlos nuevamente. En la nueva prueba todo salió perfecto, el color es muy bueno, de hecho se ve mejor que otros filamentos más caros, al menos el color blanco salió perfecto en todas las pruebas que hice, incluso ya lo lleve a proyectos reales de clientes y todo salió perfecto. Unas pequeñas anotaciones que debo hacer acerca de este filamento, por alguna extraña razón deja algunos pequeños puntos como si el filamento se hubiera quemado de más, la temperatura no es el problema, no sé si tenga algo el filamento que ocasiona esto, no siempre pasa, pero si de los 2kg que he usado me ha pasado cada 200 o 300gramos que deja unas pequeñas marcas de quemado, nada que no se tape en la siguiente capa, pero si las deja en la capa exterior o en la pared eso si sería un problema! Mi nueva calificación va más por el excelente servicio al cliente que tienen y porque el color blanco si me funcionó, lo seguiré comprando? no lo sé, pero si podría recomendarlo. ------ reseña vieja del color negro ------- Me dejé llevar por los comentarios positivos que tenía este filamento sinceramente, solo leía que excelente producto, que todo perfecto, que es mejor que muchos filamentos mas caros. Entonces decidí darle una oportunidad a este filamento y probar si me sirve para las piezas que hacemos. Ni mal lo pusimos para empezar a hacer pruebas de filamento y poderlo ajustar y fue un desastre total, deja unos pelos blancos que no entendemos de donde salen si el filamento se ve perfecto, la temperatura esta a una temperatura normal de 205° la adhesión esta bien, pero de eso en fuera es una perdida de dinero tratar de usar este filamento. Sale mas barato gastar en un filamento mas caro pero que no vas a tener problemas, a ahorrarte $100 - $130 pesos por kg y tener este filamento. Tenía la esperanza de que fuera a funcionar y poder bajar los costos de impresión, pero al parecer tendré que quedarme con las marcas que aunque son mas caras sé que no voy a tener ningún problema. No soy nuevo en la impresión 3D así que no es una mala configuración y esa prueba la hemos hecho mil veces con todos los filamentos y nunca había visto estos resultados con ningún filamento que hemos comprado.

Update 10/04/2024: BACK AFTER 1 DAY SHY OF A YEAR! So it turns out the filament wasn't the issue, but was a hot end fan and a power supply fan that were causing the issue. Apparently they were both dying and not cooling the heat sync and/ or power supply adequately. Those were causing intermittant issues with almost all filaments other than one brand that starts with and O. This filament is printing really well currently, and havent had an issue with since doing a major overhaul of my entire hotend assembly and replacing the powersupply fan. 5 Stars for Quality of the filament 5 Stars for quality of the prints with the filament 5 Stars for Elegoo Customer Service (Though they should get 10!) 5 Stars for Elegoo all around from me! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update 10/05/23: If I could rate customer service at Elegoo, I would give it 5 stars! Very responsive, and willing to try to get issues taken care of in a timely manner. However, I am settling on a 2 star review of Elegoo's PLA and PLA+. I was sent 2 rolls of their PLA+ to replace the PLA rolls that I purchased, and spent the better part of 2 evenings experiencing the same issues that I originally had with their regular PLA (Under extrusion, clogging, etc.). I even went back and used my filament drier on both of the previously purchased rolls of PLA for 60 hours each, and still am unable to print with them. I love Elegoo, and will always recommend their resin/resin printers, but I can not recommend their filament at this time. I'm going to try to dry out the PLA+ rolls for 80 hours each and see if that makes a difference. Update 09/25/23: Adding 2 stars to my original review. Elegoo customer service was super quick and friendly with a response and reached out to me to offer an option to replace or refund my purchase. I chose to have them replace the rolls, and they stated that they would be sending out their PLA+. Will update review again once I get a chance to test out the new rolls! I bought 2 spools of the black, and printed just fine through half of the first one. Then I started having issues with adhesion, under extrusion, and clogs in my hot end. I was printing at 205C, and leved the bed between each failed print just to rule those 2 factors out. I even tried to increase the temp, but still had print failure after print failure. So I thought maybe the filament had taken on some moisture. I opened the second roll, and the SAME issues developed. I love most other Elegoo products, but would steer clear of this filament for now.

EDIT / UPDATE AFTER MANUFACTURER RESPONSE Updating this review after Elegoo reached out directly. After posting my original review, Elegoo proactively replaced both rolls, even though only one of them had failed at the time. That alone deserves credit. I’ve now printed through both replacement spools, and I’m happy to report that neither had any winding issues. No binding, no crossovers, and no extrusion problems. Long prints completed without intervention, including unattended runs. The original issue was still serious. A winding crossover that causes filament binding can result in catastrophic hardware damage, which did happen in my case and required a hotend replacement. That concern hasn’t changed, and spool winding quality is still something Elegoo needs to stay on top of. That said, their customer support handled this exactly right. Fast response, no arguing, and a full replacement without me having to jump through hoops. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Review I’ve used around 10 rolls of Elegoo PLA, and overall the material itself prints well. When everything goes right, this filament has good bed adhesion, consistent extrusion, and a nice surface finish. Unfortunately, this is the second roll from Elegoo that has failed for me in the exact same way. The first was Dark Blue; this one is Black. Both spools developed a winding crossover that caused the filament to bind mid-print. When that happens, the extruder continues feeding, but no filament comes out. In this case, the print was running overnight, and the failure resulted in a severe “blob of death” that completely encased the hotend. The damage was bad enough that I’ll need to replace the hotend, not just clean it. This is especially disappointing because Elegoo PLA has been reliable for me in the past. However, 2 failures out of 10 rolls is a high enough rate to be concerning, particularly when the failure mode can cause hardware damage. Pros: Good print quality when it works Smooth surface finish Prints easily Cons: Spool winding defects Can bind mid-print Risk of catastrophic hotend damage if printing unattended

Buen material

I've always had good results with ELEGOO filaments. I would highly recommend them.
