ZIRO High Speed PLA Filament 1.75mm, White

I had an Ankermake sitting in a box for about a year before I finally decided to give it a whirl. I picked this product randomly and was excited to test it out. True, I have absolutely no frame of reference. However, Im not sure experience with filament is necessary to determine that this product is do-so at best. The white is a nice bright white so thats a plus. However, I couldnt get it to print well at all. Im eating 3 stars because theres a chance that my failure is only a small part product quality and a large part operator errorbut Im really not so sure.

This filament worked pretty well for my prints. Nothing particularly special, but the prints came out fine and the filament did its job.

Also, it was well wrapped to keep the moisture at bay.

We 3D printers can be a picky bunch, and I'm always wary of veering away from my usual brand, but I was curious to try out ZIRO's High Speed PLA filament on my high speed printer! This description boasts an impressive printing speed of up to 600mm/s, and it certainly lives up to its claims.

I like that the filament comes in a resealable storage bag, and was neatly wound on the spool. I didn't come across any kinks or tangles while printing.

For the settings, I used a nozzle temperature of 220?C and a bed temperature of 57?C, and the results were great. The filament adhered well to the bed and the layer adhesion was just great. My prints completed with perfect detail and a consistent finish, so there was hardly any post-processing.

The filament gave me great results on both my high-speed and regular printers at the same heat settings.

I was happy with the bonus cleaning filament and filament sample, too!

I would like to say wow it was great and better than anything I ever tried... that would be a fib.

It is however a very good quality pla product... I ran it at normal speeds at 215*C via a ruby 0.8mm tip. And I went through an entire spool without filament related issues. It worked great...it fed great...it adhered great... layer separation did not happen.

It made me happy and I would purchase it again at PLA prices without concern.

Printed it basically the same way I do with generic PLA. Running the bulk of my prints at a flow around 15mm^3. That's getting to the upper end of what PLA can usually do and still print well, but this spool didn't give me any problems at all. It does seem to have more of a matte finish to it, so if that matters to you at all there you go.
