Geeetech Clear PLA Filament 1.75mm, Excellent Transparency, Carefully Wound 3D Printer Filament 1kg(2.2lbs), Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03mm, Fits the

One spool was brittle, clogged my bamboo printer (H2D). Had to disassemble the AMS to clear jam. After reading this review, Geeetech Direct reached out with extensive support and refunded the purchase. I purchased two spools, one of them was probably a bad batch and the issue was addressed promptly. Very satisfied with this level of support, rare there days.

The clear is easily and by far the worst filament I’ve ever used. If you read this and still buy it you must love to suffer. When you open the roll you have to immediately start printing with it and not stop. Don’t even think of doing a multi color because in the minute it spends printing the 2nd color, your roll has no become brittle and will break into a billion pieces in your ptfe tubes. Not a regular brittle, rock hard to the point it’ll damage your printer. Drying it does nothing. Once it becomes brittle, that’s a wrap. It swells and no amount of drying will make it work ever again, I’ve tried. I literally moved my H2S and installed a dehumidifier and still it’s just as brittle. I regret the day I used it on one of my products so I’ve been dealing with this and still have like 8kgs left. I end up tossing most rolls with half left. The sister companies (xzn, giant arm) are the same. I’ve tried them all trying to escape this problem. I’m going to switch the clear section of my product to a color and update all my listing pics. This clear has taken all the fun out of printing. Don’t even think about using this overnight. You’ll wake up to a error and no print. Other colors are amazing from these brands but not the clear. It is very clear but trust me it’s not worth it. I would rather try to print vibranium out of an a1 mini. I don’t understand how they can sell this to anyone other than somebody studying the effects of jamming rocks down a 3d printers throat. Last note: I’ve also tried making my ptfe as straight as possible to help it and nothing. Just the tug from the ams is enough to snap it

I got this roll of filament to test because I have some future projects in mind, but I couldn't help playing with it after I saw the results. While it is perfectly clear on the spool, like all transparent filaments, standard settings gives you a translucent print... however, there are several YouTube videos on how to get your prints to become actually clear with post-processing. I had no issues with stringing, and standard supports work well. As you can see in the Pic, you can really make it glow with a backlight. I used a phone under the skull to demonstrate. (My son has already claimed the skull and mini helmet) I also printed my maker-coin and an er11 collet box that I designed. The prints are really sturdy, the box hinges are nice and strong. Like all of geeetech's filaments that I have purchased, this roll arrived dry and neatly wound. I think it is definitely worth the price, and would be great for 3d printed diffusers or other projects that you want to backlight. 5 stars Printed on creality k1 with stock settings

EDITED 10/4/24: I came back to change the review because, apparently, the filament was just too damp. I put it in a dryer overnight, and now I have no trouble printing. So if you are having trouble printing with this PLA, just try drying it more before you give up. In the picture I've added, one of the boxes and both of the lids are printed with this filament. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I saw some people had issues with these Geeetech filaments, but the vast majority of the bad reviews were about the silver color, so I thought the transparent might be better (and it did have SOME good reviews). However, I was unable to get a single print job to work. Clogged every time -- in a 0.6 nozzle! I'm quite disappointed, but that will teach me not to buy the cheap stuff, I guess. Maybe Santa will bring me some better clear PLA for Christmas.

Have tried a few brands of translucent PLA and they usually (in my experience) have problems. This one from Geetech though is really good, no clogging, no stringing, and depending on your print surface, surprisingly clear after printing. I really like it, and for the price I will definitely buy more when I run out of this spool. Transparency is described as "excellent" in the description and I would agree with that 100%
